METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS AT THE MOUNTAINTOP STATIONS IN THE KHIBINY (THE KOLA PENINSULA, RUSSIA) AND REGIONAL CLIMATIC CHANGES

Abstract: The results of climatic change study in the Khibiny Mountains using the glaciological, landscape and meteorological observations are presented. If time series analysis is restricted by the period from 1962 to 2006 only, there is a significant positive temperature trend. At the same time, n...

Description
Summary:Abstract: The results of climatic change study in the Khibiny Mountains using the glaciological, landscape and meteorological observations are presented. If time series analysis is restricted by the period from 1962 to 2006 only, there is a significant positive temperature trend. At the same time, no statistically meaningful difference in air temperatures for periods of 1937-1967 and 1976-2006. It is shown that air temperature variations in the region have oscillatory character, so that it is impossible to make a conclusion on the irreversibility of the modern warming.
