Abstract

There have been studied in the article the features of precipitation distribution over the territory of the Moscow Region for the whole year (and its warm and cold periods) in the presence and absence of a large anthropogenic formation, having an elevated temperature regime (by the example of the Moscow city); in the capital, the average annual precipitation falls to 664—677 mm, which is more than on the Klin-Dmitrov ridge. In the warm and cold periods on the territory of Moscow city there has also been traced a focus with increased precipitation (by 30—60 mm more than at nearby stations of the Moscow region). Comparison of the average long-term precipitation amounts for 1966—2015 and the values of the norms from the climate reference books showed, that the amount of precipitation for the year at the stations of Mozhaisk, Kolomna, Moscow (VDNKH) increased by 14—46 mm; the ascending trend in precipitation amount has been observed for most months, except July and November.

Keywords

precipitation, large anthropogenic formation, upward trends in total precipitation, Moscow region.
