CHANGES OF TEMPERATURE REGIME IN THE TERRITORY OF KHARKIV REGION

Abstract

The results of changes in air temperature at meteorological stations in Kharkiv region within year and seasons during 2001-2013 have been studied. It is shown, that climatic changes of air temperature parameters in the cities are higher than regional ones. Global warming is characterized by air temperature increasing near the earth surface and is the main line of climate of the 20th - 21 centuries. As a result of the analysis it was defined that for the last decade of the 20th century the number of the abnormal atmospheric phenomena had increased. The authors assume that with air temperature augmentation, there will be changes in atmospheric precipitation mode, air temperatures, sea level that will lead to serious consequences. On the example of Kharkiv region it has been defined that air temperature at meteorological stations grew during 2001-2013. In recent years abnormally high air temperatures have been recorded both in the winter, and in the summer. The augmentation of air temperature amplitude on the territories of Kharkiov region can be considered as the sign of continentality. It is set that the most influence of the urbanized processes on the territorial climatic terms appears in the increase of air temperature. Its tendency depends on the regional territorial structure, thermophysical properties of surfaces. Different atmospheric processes above outskirts territories are determined by weather terms conditioned by the radiation mode. The most contrasts of air temperatures appear in clear weather terms. Difference in the values of maximal and minimal air temperatures is becoming less obvious.
