FORMATION AND CLIMATIC FEATURES OF THE ARAL REGION

The article examines the issues of geological formation of the Aral Sea region and analyzes the current climatic features of the territory that has undergone significant transformations due to anthropogenic impact on the Aral Sea. Based on the generalization of long-term meteorological observation data, expedition research results, and remote sensing materials, the main patterns of changes in the temperature regime, humidity, wind activity, and dust storms in the region have been identified. It has been established that the degradation of the Aral Sea water area has led to an increase in climate continentality, an increase in the frequency of extreme meteorological phenomena, and the formation of a new natural object - the Aralkum desert. The results of the study can be used in the development of regional programs for ecological rehabilitation and adaptation of the population to changing climatic conditions.
