 Location of the Tompo (Томпо) in the catchment area of the Aldan |
||
The Tompo ( Russian Томпо ) is a 570 km long right tributary of the Aldan in northeast Siberia ( Russia , Asia ).
course
The Tompo rises in the Suntar Chajata , a foothill of the Verkhoyansk Mountains , about 1,800 meters above sea level on the northwest side of the Brjungjadinski ridge, which is almost 2,200 meters high . It flows through this mountain range in several large arches and on this section has the distinctive character of a mountain river with a partly narrow, rocky valley and fast current. About 150 kilometers from its mouth, the Tompo reaches the eastern part of the Central Yakut Lowland , which it flows through in a south-westerly direction. The river branches into a multitude of arms here and finally flows into the Aldan at a height of 101 m opposite the village of Megino-Aldan , just under 50 kilometers northwest of Chandyga .
The most important tributaries are Tomporuk (length 186 km) and Mankjule (225 km) from the left, Delinja (357 km) and Chunchada (389 km) from the right.
In its entire course, the Tompo flows through only sparsely populated areas on the territory of the autonomous Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) . On the left bank of the middle course are the villages of Tompo (opposite the Chunchada estuary) and Topolinoje .
Hydrography
The catchment area of the Tompo covers around 42,700 km². Near the mouth, the river is almost 500 meters wide and around 1.5 meters deep; the flow velocity is 0.8 m / s.
The tompo freezes between mid-October and the second half of May. It freezes to the bottom from about January to early May. The mean monthly water flow near the mouth is 254 m³ / s, at Topolinoje on the middle reaches 163 m³ / s (maximum in June with 545 m³ / s).
Infrastructure
The Tompo is not navigable.
There is almost no infrastructure in the area through which it flows; there are no bridges over the river. The Kolyma trunk road ("Kolyma-Trakt", M56) runs south, almost parallel to the entire course of the river and approaches it in places for a few dozen kilometers. East of Tjoply Kljutsch branches off the Kolyma tract, an unpaved road about 200 kilometers long to the village of Topolinoje, which in sections follows the left bank of the Tompo.
