Abstract: Activities of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) r e lating to the thermal regime of water bodies under ice 'cover are des ribed. The experience and research of some WMO Members are present ed. The thermal regime of reservoirs under ice cover, as compared with the thermal regime of open reservoirs, has been insufficiently studied. Research undertaken in the Soviet Union has made it possible to determine the laws governing the establishment of the heat regime and to determine the differences in this regime for various types of reservoirs and rivers, taking into account the features of their morphometry and hydraulics. A methodology has been developed for field research in t his area. The theoretical prerequisites are set out and informa tion is gi ven on practical methods for calculating the elements of the hea t regime. The results of the research are used when planning hydraulic installations and, in particular, the major hydro-electric schemes of the Angaro Enisejski and other cascades of hydro-electric stations.
