Temporal-spatial variability of modern climate in the Altai Mountains during 1970-2015

stations (Zmeinogorsk and Kosh-Agach) exhibited decreasing trends with no significance. Other remaining stations showed increasing trends with rates spanning from 0.16 to 6.40 mm/ decade, but most of them did not past 95% confidence level. In summer, five stations (Mugur- Aksy, Kara-Tyurek, Yailu, Olgiy and Khovd) revealed declining trends with no significance. Fig 4.
