AB  - This book summarizes many years of research on statistical short-range precipitation forecasting in Central Asia. Precipitation forecasts are essential for planning agricultural and construction activities, preparing hydrological forecasts, forecasting avalanche hazards, and many other purposes. This is of particular importance for Central Asia, where precipitation varies greatly from one area to another.As is well known, precipitation forecasting is one of the most complex problems in meteorology, and the longer the forecast lead time, the more difficult the task becomes. The difficulties encountered when applying existing precipitation forecasting methods to Central Asia arise from the fact that the region is located deep within a vast continent and possesses highly complex topography. This necessitates additional research both on the forecasting target itself and on the initial information used for prediction. Therefore, the studies presented in this book are of exceptional importance from both scientific and practical perspectives.Chapter 1 presents the results of a statistical analysis of precipitation fields based on machine classification of precipitation during the cold half of the year, as well as a regionalization of Central Asia. The results demonstrate that precipitation is distributed very unevenly throughout the region. Consequently, the use of areally averaged precipitation over arbitrary regions as a forecasting variable is unacceptable. Likewise, regionalization based solely on mean values is unreasonable because, in mountainous areas, stations located relatively close to one another but at different elevations may exhibit substantial differences in average precipitation. Therefore, the delineation of regions with homogeneous precipitation characteristics represents a significant contribution to the solution of weather forecasting problems.Chapter 2 is devoted to identifying the characteristics of precipitation as a forecasting target. It examines t
