Atmospheric Circulation Influence During Winter on Measurements at Yakutsk Array

TL;DR

This study analyzes 40 years of atmospheric data from Yakutsk, revealing increased cyclonic activity and winter temperatures, which soften the continental climate of Central Yakutia.

Contribution

It provides long-term observational evidence of atmospheric changes affecting Yakutsk's winter climate, highlighting climate variability over four decades.

Findings

Increase in cyclonic activity over 40 years

Rise in average winter temperatures

Greater atmospheric variability

Abstract

The paper presents long-term observations of the atmosphere in Yakutsk region. Analysis of the data for 40 year period indicates a gradual strengthening of cyclonic activity in the region and hence the increase of the average winter temperature, increase variations of the rest atmosphere, which greatly softens the continental climate of Central Yakutia.
