| Summary: | Abstract At present, various world regions face statistically significant weather anomalies indicating transformations in the climate system. Climate change processes are manifested both at the global and regional levels under local physical and geographical conditions. Northern regions, where climate change is clearly observed, experience extreme weather phenomena able to affect the quality of land resources, livelihoods of the population, and the local economy. Depending on their distribution, manifestation, frequency and quantitative parameters, these phenomena are often characterized by a destructive potential which entails a need to monitor the unfavorable natural processes in order to take them into account when planning the territory. This paper analyses some dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena associated with climate changes observed in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area Yugra. |
