Summary:Interannual variations in wind parameters in the Zabaikal’skii krai are considered. In the recent three decades wind speed has decreased in the most part ofthe territory under consideration. In particular, this was caused by the decrease in the occurrence frequency of strong winds and by the increase in the number of calms.
