Characterizing the temperature and humidity regime of the Left Bank of the Saratov region against the background of the second wave of global warming

Authors: Morozova S. V., Alimpieva M. A.

The article considers the temperature and humidity regime of the Left Bank of the Saratov region in various natural climatic periods of the state of the earth’s climate system – the first wave of global warming, stabilization, the second wave of global warming. It is noted that against the background of rising temperatures from one climatic period to another in the Trans-Volga region, the amount of precipitation in the cold half of the year increases. The trend in precipitation during the warm period is ambiguous.

Peculiarities of the temperature and humidity regime of the Right Bank of the Saratov region against the background of global climate trends

Authors: Morozova S. V., Alimpieva M. A., Mardanshina E. R., Yukhmin R. B.

The temperature and humidity regime of the Right Bank is considered according to the data of four weather stations in three natural climatic periods – stabilization, the first and second waves of global warming. There is an increase in the rate of warming from one natural climatic period to another. Against the background of a progressive rise in temperatures, there is an increase in the amount of precipitation in the cold half of the year and its decrease in the warm one.

Application of time series models for forecasting the global temperature anomalies

Authors: Bogdanov M. B., Morozova S. V., Alimpieva M. A.

Spectral analysis of the time series for average annual values of the globally averaged surface temperature anomaly shows the presence of harmonics of the lunar nodal cycle with a period of 18.6 years, which can be used to predict the values of the series. Three models of the series were considered: autoregression AR(p), combined model of autoregression – integrated moving average ARIMA(p,d,q) and artificial neural network. It is shown that the ARIMA(4,1,4) model gives the best results for predicting the global temperature anomaly for three years.

Authors: Mami M. T., Lobanov V. A., Korotkova N. V.

Based on the results of the historical experiment of the CMIP5 and CMIP6 projects, the effectiveness of the scenario estimates (RCP/SSP1 2.6, RCP/SSP2 4.5 and RCP/SSP5 8.5) of the future air temperature for Central Africa for the IPSL and BCC global climate models is evaluated and the simulation results of these projects are compared with each other and with the observations of meteorological stations in the region, both for the historical experimental period and with the observations of recent years for the implementation of future climate projections.

Assessing the continentality index of Western Siberia against the background of regional climate change

Authors: Ablova I. M.

Quantitative assessment of the territory continentality is an urgent task, because in the conditions of climate change, the index of continentality can be taken into account when developing geographical forecasts of landscape development. The purpose of this study is to assess the change in the index of continentality of Western Siberia in the conditions of the current trend in climate development. The statistical series of observations on seven meteorological stations in Western Siberia served as the information base of the study.

Evaluating the statistical significance of air temperature changes in the Northern hemisphere by statistical methods

Authors: Morozova S. V., Diyanova E. S., Diyanova E. S., Nikishova V. D., Kotova Y. Y., Popkova E. Y.

The analysis of changes in the near-surface air temperature of the Northern Hemisphere is given. To identify years in which there was a violation of the series homogeneity, the stepwise trend method was applied using Kolmogorov statistics. It is shown that the identified homogeneous climatic intervals basically correspond to the natural climatic periods of the state of the Earth’s climate system. The assessment of the significance of temperature changes in homogeneous climatic areas was carried out by the method of confidence intervals using Student’s t-test.
