Since one and a half year, the underwater Cherenkov telescope NT-36 consisting of 36 photomultipliers attached to 3 strings is operated in lake Baikal. The large statistics of collected data allows for comparison with Monte Carlo predictions starting from the level of detector response up to more sophisticated dependences like the angular distribution of muon intensity.
