Abstract: It is the purpose of the present paper to report results of observations on ice thermal regime in basins of a pumped storage power plant under conditions of the moderate-continental climate. The withdrawal structure of the power plant is located on the bank of the reservoir of the volume by two orders larger than the volume of the upper basin. Measurements of changes in water temperature were made at the sites of the water intake in the upper basin and of the withdrawal structure in the reservoir. Ice observations were performed in the upper basin including its banks. The studies were conducted over a period of four years (1976-1980). Measurements were continuously taken starting from the initial ice formation up until the moment at which ice cleared from the basins in spring. In the course of observations the records were obtained: on heat exchange and heat losses in the basins, ice cover formation in dependence of wetter temperature variations, specific features of ice accumulation in the upper basin and ice action against the basin slope protection.
