Abstract:

Multidimensional mathematical analysis of a set of abiotic and biotic indices was carried out on the basis of many-year (1958-1984, 1992) observations of the Kuibyshev Reservoir. The character of the space and time dynamics of the samples is studied; the localization of sections of statistically homogeneous data was implemented. Graphs of the long-term spatial taxonomic structure of water masses were analyzed for different periods. The graphs had been formed with the use of the principal component method, neuron network modeling, and self-organizing Kohonen maps. Comprehensive zoning of the reservoir water area was carried out with the help of GIS technologies.
