Climatic factors and their impact on the development of exogenous processes in the basin of the Upper Prut River

Abstract

In this article are analyzed some climatic indicators which were taken from three meteorological stations in the basin of the upper Prut River and influence this climatic indicators on the development of modern relief-forming processes. Meteorological data taken from weather station Pozhyzhevska (altitude 1433 m), Chornohora Geographical Station (altitude 978 m) and weather station in Yaremcha (altitude 530 m). Altitudinal magnitude between these stations is 903 meters. The main task of the study, was to clarify the changes of certain climatic characteristics and course of exogenous processes on different hypsometric levels in the basin of the upper Prut River. Key words: air temperature, frost-free period, snow cover, precipitation layer.
