THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FIELD OF DEPOSITS OF ICE IN THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE IN THE WINTER MONTHS 20THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FIELD OF DEP01–2015 AND THE DEFINITION OF TRENDS IN ITS SPATIAL CHANGES RELATIVE TO THE CLIMATOLOGICAL STANDARD NORM OF 1961–1990

Abstract

The current state of the field of ice deposits in Ukraine (according to standard ice machine) in the month of greatest distribution for the period 2001-2015. For each region and the region identified pockets of their appearance and maximum established centers of cells. The tendencies in the distribution of cases of ice deposits at the present stage of climate change in relation to the standard climatological norm of 1961-1990 are established. 

For all three wintering months of 2001-2015, the prevailing tendency to a certain decrease in the amount of ice deposits in the majority of regions of Ukraine relative to the standard climatic norm of 1961-1990 was established. However, in Rivne, Chernivtsi, Chernigov, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson and in the Zaporizhzhya regions in some winter months the prevalence of stations was noted with an increase in the average number of cases of ice deposits.

The largest and maximum positive deviations of the average amount of ice deposits are observed more often in January in the Ternopil region, Chernivtsi, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and in the Donetsk regions. Similarly, the largest and maximum negative deviations were more widespread, but more often they were observed in February and December in the regions of the center, north-east and south of the country.
