Temperature and Humidity Trends in the Lower Atmospheric 2-km Layer over the Russian Arctic According to Radiosonde Data

I. V. Chernykh and O. A. Aldukhov

Theresultsofanalyzingtrends in air temperature and humidity anomalies in the lower atmospheric layer of 0–2 km over the Russian Arctic in 1964–2016 are presented. The calculations are based on the CARDS aerological dataset complemented with current data. It is shown that the air temperature rise in the lower atmospheric layer (0–2 km) over the Russian Arctic is accompanied by an increase in column water vapor. Theregistered variations in air temperature and air humidity are inhomogeneous in space and in time.
