Climate pattern, snow- and timberlines in the Altai Mountains, Central Asia
Abstract: In the sparse populated areas of Central and High Asia, where climate measurements are rare and spatial climate data has to be interpolated from few meteorological stations, the geo-ecological environments provide detailed information about climate patterns. With the help of a high-resolution spatial climate-analysing scheme the potential area of geo-ecological zones, like glaciations and forests, can be outlined. Comparing these results with empirical collected geo-information from topographic maps, air photos, fieldwork and literature creates an instrument to evaluate the model and to estimate the climate patterns, which control the variation of geomorphologic features and vegetation associations. In a further step the past and future ecological environments can be delineated by these climate parameters. The investigation area in the Altai and Khangay mountains borders the Siberian taiga in the north to the desert and steppe regions of Central Asia in the south.
