Description:
|
- Issyk-Kul station is situated in central Asia in the mountains of Northern Tien-Shan along the shoreline of Issyk-Kul Lake (42.6 deg N, 77.0 deg E, 1650 m asl). The Issyk-Kul Lake region is surrounded by two giant mountainous chains: Kungey Ala-Too in the north, and Terskey Ala-Too in the south, converging in the west and in the east, and forming the closed area. Some summits in the region are very high (~5000 m). The Issyk-Kul Lake covers the area of more than 6200 km2 and lake’s surface is located at the elevation of 1609 m above sea level. Mountainous chains, surrounding the lake, hinder the transport of the polluted air from Chu Valley (Bishkek city, capital of Kyrgyzstan) and from the huge industrial center Almaty in neighboring Kazakhstan. Hence, the atmosphere over the Issyk-Kul basin, which has no sources of industrial pollution, can be considered as the background, typical for rural conditions of the central Asia mountainous region.
