The "Climatic Handbook of the USSR" consists of 34 issues compiled
by the administrations of the Hydrometeorological Service in a unified
program and method developed at the Main Geophysical Observatory im.
A.I. Voyeykov. Each issue of the handbook consists of five parts:
Part I - Solar radiation, radiation balance and solar radiance; Part II
- Temperature oi the air and soil; Part III - Wind; Part IV - Air
humidity, precipitation and snow cover; Part V - Cloudiness and
atmospheric phenomena.
In this handbook the wind conditions for the Kamchatskaya Oblast
are covered for the period from 1936 through 1964. For tables 9 and 9a
data from the period 1891-1964 are used.-,
Prolonged observations of wind velocity are necessary because from
year to year considerable variations in the frequency of wind
velocities are noted. The frequencies of high velocities are subject
to the greatest variations.
The handbook includes materials from 58 meteorological stations
which are existing now or operated earlier on the territory of
Kamchatskaya Oblast.
The different characteristics of wind velocity and direction give
an idea of the wind conditions in Kamchatskaya Oblast. The material is
presented in the form of tables for the individual stations with an
explanatory text for them. The text portion contains a brief
description of the general regularities of wind conditions, a knowledge
of which is necessary for the correct utilization of the materials in
the handbook. - ,
In comparison with the 1950 edition of the "Climatic Handbook of
the USSR" the present issue has been supplemented with a number of new
tables which many national-economic organizations felt a need for.
The handbook is intended for a wide range of specialists. The
data in it can be used for planning, designing and operation in the
areas of agriculture, industry, transportation, and also in
scientific-research work.
The "Climatic Handbook of the USSR," Part III, Issue 27 was
prepared for printing by coworkers at the Petropavlovsk
Hydrometeorological Observatory: by engineers T.S. Gaydukevich, N.K.,
Simina, N.A. Gradyushko, A.P. Katsyka, technicians S.K. Koneva,
S.D. Fedorova, senior technician T.P. Koval'chuk under the general
supervision of the head of the Department of Meteorology and Climate,
Candidate of Physicomathematical Sciences, A.P. Katsyka, who was also
the responsible editor for the handbook.

Scientific-methodical supervision in the process of preparing the
*handboo k was done in the Main Geophysical observatory by scientists
N.V. Smirnova and R.F. Sokhrina.
Overall scientific-methodical supervision was by candidate of
Geographical Sciences V.V. Orlova.

Brief Description of Wind Conditions and
Special Features of it
The Kamchatskaya Oblast is situated between 50057' and 65000' N
and 155034 ' and 175000' E. It inc',des the entire peninsula of
Kamchatka and its adjacent mainland (variable in the far northern
portion of the mainland), and also the islands of Karaginskiy and
Komandorskiye. The oblast extends from the southwest to the northeast
for a distance of 1600 km and is characterized by diverse
physico-geographical conditions
The Komandorskiye Islands (Bering and Mednyy) are separated from
the Kamchatka peninsula by the sea. The islands are mountainous.
Around 2/3 of the territory of the Kamchatskaya Oblast is covered
by mountain masses. Two ridges extend almost in a meridional
direction on the peninsula: the middle and the eastern. Between them
lies the Kamchatka River Valley, which is a low-lying, frequently
swamped lowland with a multitude of lakes. The middle ridge is a
continuous mountain system. In the north of the area are the
Koryakskoye highlands and the branches of the Kolymskiy Ridge.
The eastern shore of the peninsula is broken up by large bays.
The special features of the wind conditions on Kamchatka are
conditioned by the complex circulation, the relief of the terrain, the
great extent from the north to the south and the nearness of large
bodies of water. The shore areas and the central section of Kamchatka
differ sharply in a climatic respect.
During the winter Kamchatka is found under the influence of the
Aleutian depression, which frequently includes cyclones. During the
cold period of the year the cyclones move mainly from Japan through the
south of the Kamchatka Peninsula to the north and northeast along the
eastern shore. Less often the cyclones move along the western shore.
The difference between the water temperature of the cold Okhotsk Sea
and the warmer Pacific Ocean contributes to a depression of the
cyclones on the approach to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Upon deepening
the cyclones become high, their movement slows down, and thereby
conditions are created for prolonged snowfall snowstorms and winds
with storm force. During the warm period the shallow cyclones arrive
at Kamchatka from the west, across the Okhotsk Sea.
In the summer for the greater part of the time the ridge of the
Pacific Ocean anticyclone is spread over Kamchatka and the adjacent
water area of the seas.
The special conditions of the wind conditions of Kamchatka are
conditioned by the influence of cyclones and the relief of the terrain
(Fig. 1). Kamchatka is found in the zone of the middle latitude
