Zoning of cold stress associated with climatic change in Russia
- Institute of Geography, Moscow (Russian Federation)
The purpose of my work is to learn the connection of geographical zonality with the distribution of stress in Russia. The map {open_quotes}Geographical distribution of climate life condition ranged on the degree of discomfort in Russia{close_quotes}, made in Institute of Geography of Russian Academy of Sciences, reflects the zoning of cold stress in Russia. This zoning was used for the estimation of cold stress in Russia at various screenplays of climate change. The base of zoning was mating of boundaries of nature-climatic zonality with characteristics of cold presented by indices of cold stress (enthalpy, dry cooling, wet cooling, wind chill etc.). The paper covers geographical distribution of factors provoking cold stress: low temperatures, wind speed and air humidity. Zoning of cold stress on the territory of Russia for long standing average conditions and for the periods of cooling and warming of global climate in the XX century was performed.
