Abstract
The need to seek new ideas and approaches in studying the cyclic nature of planetary and regional water exchange is substantiated. Based on systematizing available data and results obtained by this author, an analysis is made of the role of interphase transfers of natural waters in the formation of water exchange cycles. It is stated that the effect of phase mixing is inherent in natural waters. This effect is responsible for the unity of natural waters, and for a high intensity of their interphase transfer. Such a methodological approach was used to specify the scheme of climatic (hydrological) cycle of natural waters. In addition to the known atmospheric (atmogenic) cycle, cryohydrogenic, atmolithogenic, glaciogenic and cryolitogenic cycles have been identified as well as estimating the mass of water annually involved in these cycles, the intensity of water exchange in each cycle and the output of energy liberated or spent. Implementation of this scheme would provide an opportunity to more purpusefuly study water resources and various water exchange cycles.
