Dynamics of the Ili delta with consideration of fluctuations of the level of Lake Balkhash
This article examines the dynamics of the Ili delta region of Russia, with consideration of the fluctuations of the level of Lake Balkhash. Level fluctuations over a period of approximately 700 years are reviewed, and numerical data is presented. It is shown that the dynamics of the delta region affect both the amplitude and duration of the cycle of fluctuations of the lake level. In particular, the phase of the delta cycle that started cuts off the peak of the maximum ordinate of the level at the end of the tranasgressive period reduces still more the minimum elevations of the lake level at the end of the regressive period. It also accelerates the time of occurence of individual phases of the intrasecular cycle.
