Abstract:

The model proposed earlier for assessment of monthly sums of precipitation has been tested in winter period in the square areas of 5 to 10 degrees in the center of European territory of Russian Federation. Computed magnitudes of Rр and the number of days with precipitation Dр are determined by the linear correlation equations Rр = f(K) and Dр = f1), where K and ω1 are the indices of the above characteristics Rр and Dр, calculated by means of empirical relationships between the repetition of quantity and forms of cloudiness with weighting factors of precipitation. Quite good correlation r = 0.7–0.9 between the measured and computed data makes the research in this field promising.
