The basic theme of these works is how climate can be ultimately changed to
desired types by afforestation, etc .7

Abstract: One of the most essential problems in the study of the genesis of
three feather-forrn ng factors, 'conditions of radiative regime, circulatory
synoptic processes. The laws governing the formation of local weathers, due to
the forming of weather is considered under conditions of separate homogeneous

climate is the investigation of the dynamics of local weathers under various
physico-geographical conditions. The authoress' investigations in the river
valleys Riona and Kura were conducted by the method of complex-dynamico-climatological
analysis proposed by L. A. Chubukev (1949), which is based on methods of complex
climatology, on the one hand, and of dynamic climatology, on the other hand.
From complex climatology we take the expression of climate in local weathers (cf

"Variations in the Local Weather During Transformation of Air Masses in the
Summer and Winter in the Lowlands of Kazakhstan," pages 1.9 to 62.
Abstract: The aim of the present work is to establish the laws governing,
in successive interchange, the classes of local weather during transformation of
air masses in the summer and winter in the Kazakhstan lowlands. By "transformation
of air masses" we mean such a process of variation an the physical properties of
an air mass, as a result of which the air main begins to play a new role in the
general circulation of the atmosphere, passing to a new geographical type, and
obtains a new name.
The urgency and importance of this problem are determined by the fact that
in the process of transformation of air masses the action of the underlying surface
on the climatic conditions appears in its purest form. Therefore the study of
this process is a necessary premise for the cap ;u1ation of possible variations
in climate, as a result of planned systematic transformation of weather by means
of afforestation, i L^r?ation; etc.
