Regional climate modeling for geographical analysis
Abstract
The actual state and the progress of climate modelling allow considering this technique as full alternative to traditional data sources about environment, ecosystems, their dynamics, etc. The rash development of meteorology and climatology, computational technologies and understanding of physical processes in soil and vegetation cover made it possible to include the detailed description of mechanisms of heat, moisture and greenhouse gases exchange, as well as interactions between the atmospheric boundary layer, surface, soil and plant communities into modern climate models. The article deals with the problem of obtaining highly-detailed data on meteorological parameters, as well as heat and moisture exchange with the atmosphere. We consider the methodological bases of climate modeling, giving the examples of applications of the results for solution of a wide range of eco-geographical tasks.
