Abstract:

The applied climatic division of Eastern Siberia into districts was conducted on the base of the developed before original methodology of objective classification of the atmospheric boundary layer climates by the complex “temperature – humidity – wind”, realized with the method of principal components and special similarity criterions of average profiles and eigen values of correlation matrices. It was identified nine homogeneous regions for winter season and eight for summer one. Local statistical models are built for each region. These include profiles of altitude distribution of mean values, mean square deviations, and matrices of interlevel correlation of temperature, specific humidity, zonal and meridional wind velocity.
