Cloudiness over the North-Asian Region
Abstract – The cloudiness above the North-Asian region for 1998-2004 has been researched on NOAA satellite data. The cloudiness has been estimated for three latitudinal zones: “Southern”, “Central ” and “Northern”. During 1998-2004 the ratios of cloudiness in northern and southern zones to cloudines...

| Summary: | Abstract – The cloudiness above the North-Asian region for 1998-2004 has been researched on NOAA satellite data. The cloudiness has been estimated for three latitudinal zones: “Southern”, “Central ” and “Northern”. During 1998-2004 the ratios of cloudiness in northern and southern zones to cloudiness in the central zone decreased on 10 %. These years correspond to a phase of a maximum of solar activity. The latitudinal displacement of cloudiness of northern and southern zones to the central zone can be explained by displacement of the basic ways of movement of the cyclones formed at the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and determining the cloudy cover in northern Eurasia up to 140th meridian. |
