EXTREME WEATHER INTERVAL TYPES IN SUCEAVA: FROSTY AND TROPICAL INTERVALS
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The amplitude and variability of air temperature in Suceava generates many types of weather and weather intervals during the annual and multi-annual thermal regime. The most frequent ones are specific to the negative thermal extremes of the cold season. Thus, frequency and duration of frosty, polar or subpolar weather intervals are higher than those of the tropical the intervals (which are significantly reduced), being given the northern geographic location of Suceava in Bukovina. The cold semester is the annual interval characterized by extreme weather events that may approach and sometimes even reach biological discomfort thresholds, endangering social-economic or natural geographic systems. On the background of the current trends of climatic excessiveness, with the increase in frequency of weather episodes with risk events, knowing the evolution conditions of average extreme weather intervals during this particular season is important from both theoretical-scientific and practical-applicable perspectives
