Weather Conditions and other Features of the Formation of Permafrost-Ice Formations in 2026 in the Area of the City of Munku-Sardyk

S.N. Kovalenko

Irkutsk State University, Irkutsk, Russia

Abstract. Analysis of weather conditions in the high-altitude region of Munku-Sardyk based on meteorological data from the Mondy meteorological station in order to identify their impact on the current dynamics of the behavior of permafrost and aufeis formations for the winter and spring period of 2026 as part of the annual field geological and geographical regime studies. On the basis of a comparative analysis with field observations and similar data for other years, the reasons for the behavior of the above formations are revealed, largely due to weather cyclicity and changes in weather conditions.

Keywords: weather, analysis of meteorological data, minimum night temperatures, maximum daytime temperatures, precipitation, regime observations of high-mountain aufeis, permafrost-stone mountain flow, Munku-Sardyk ridge
