摘要
Tendencies in climate change in the Amur River basin are generally synchronous to the global ones. During the last century, the annual mean temperature of surface air increased by 1.3°C, minimum warming being observed in the east part of the basin (0.6°C) and maximum one in the west part (1.7-2.5°C). The largest impact on the annual mean temperature growth comes from winter and spring temperature increase (2-4°C/100 years). During the last 30 years, the warming rate in the basin was 2-3 times higher than during the whole period of 1891-2004. Simultaneously with warming in the Amur River basin, annual and warm-season precipitation totals increased by 8 and 6%, respectively, during the 115-year period. The highest increase in precipitation totals occurs in cold season (29% during 115 years). During the last 30 years, together with intense warming in the Amur River basin, the annual precipitation totals are found to decrease by an average of 2.1%/10 years. © Allerton Press, Inc. 2007.
