Information on academic year No. 1

Status of research work:

A review of the scientific literature and analysis of the state of problems in the field of dissertation research. The translation of foreign literature in the direction and the main directions of the future dissertation research are determined. Methods and research methods are chosen.

Annual indicators for 6 extreme climatic indices (TXx, TNn, TX90p, RX1day, RX5day, CDD) were collected for sixteen stations of Ukraine. The indices of TXx, TNn, TX90p, RX1day, RX5day, CDD were predicted until 2050 for stations of Ukraine, for which the value was obtained by the Mann-Kendall test 1 for the level of 0.05, using harmonic analysis. The spatial distribution of trends of 6 extreme indices in different seasons of the year for the territory of Ukraine for the period 1945 - 2018 was also revealed.
