Features of mudflows in the Azerbaijan part of the Greater Caucasus

Abstract

In the article the features of mudflows were analyzed. In recent years, frequent recurrence of mudflows in the republic is explained by the release of chemical waste into the lower layers of the atmosphere, associated with military operations in almost the entire space of Eurasia. Air masses penetrating from the north, contaminated with chemical waste, are predominant in the republic compared to western ones. The purpose of the study is an in-depth analysis of the reasons for the formation of mudflows. This requires identifying the regional specifics of mudflows under the influence of local factors, as well as the patterns of spatial distribution of mudflows. Analysis of expeditionary data and hydrological monitoring. It has been determined that in recent years on the Eurasian continent, due to military actions, conflicts and consequences, the amount of radiation in the atmospheric layer has increased. In connection with this disease, the loss of organic atmospheric influences has led to an increase in the likelihood of mudflows. It was revealed that mudflows, along with changes in synoptic processes and the intensity of daily precipitation depends on the direction of precipitation, as well as on the transportation of weathering products. For these reasons, with the same rainfall, in the first case there are mudflows on the rivers, and in the second case there is a flood. This is explained by the sufficient amount of weathering products in the first case, and not enough in the second case.
