Spatial distribution of temperature and precipitation in the South Ural Region

Abstract

The study presents the features of the spatial distribution of temperatures and precipitation within the Southern Urals based on the analysis of daily observations within 2004–2018. The study suggests the reasons for zones of temperature and precipitation distribution. There is a nature of the formation of climatic zones by the regime of moistening determined. The azonal differences of the western and eastern slopes of the Southern Urals are differentiated. Local causes of latitudinal differences in temperature and meridional physiographic features are shown. Monitoring observations of the annual course of precipitation and multidimensional classification identified 5 humidification zones. The causes are described by discriminant functions. This complicates the analysis of altitudinal differentiation and enhances the role of azonal factors. A set of identified causes is formed, including during human activities.
