Abstract:

For the Asian territory of Russia (45-80°N, 60-180°E), using reanalysis data JRA-25 for the period of current global warming 1979-2008, the variability of spatial-temporal distribution of temperature and components of radiative and heat balances are studied. It is shown that since the beginning of 90th of XX century the increase of back earth-atmosphere short-waved radiation is observed. Such tendency is in conformity with the cloud cover dynamics and downward short-wave radiation at the surface. Annual averaged radiative balance values at the top are negative; this is consistent with negative annual-averaged air temperature, averaged over the area. The downward trend of radiative balance is the most obvious after the beginning of 90th of XX century.
