CHARACTERISTIC OF HEAT WAVE OF SUMMER PERIOD IN ODESA

 

Purpose. The aims of the study were to determine the frequency of heat wave cases for Odesa in the summer months June to August in 1961-2015.

Methods. The daily data of air temperature in the summer months June to August in 1961–2015 were used for research. Identification of heat waves (HW) cases based on the definition, recommended by the World Meteorological Organization(WMO).

Results. During the study period, 14 cases of heat waves were recorded. Almost half of them (43%) last for only 6 days, the average duration is 8 days, the maximum is 12 days (2008 and 2010). It was found that heat wave in August 2010 was the most powerful and longest during the study period.

Scientific novelty. For the first time, cases of heat waves (based on the definition, recommended by WMO) in Odesa for the period 1961-2015 were identified.

The practical significance. The obtained results can be used to predict the cases of heat waves in Odessa in the future and implementing of adaptation measures to the heat.

Keywords: heat wave, heat wave intensity, heat wave duration, global climate change.
