Spring Atmospheric Blockings in the Northern Hemisphere: Changes in Recent Decades (1992–2023)
摘要
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of spring atmospheric blockings (SAB) in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) for the period 1992–2023. The results of the analysis indicate a significant increase in blocking activity in the NH atmosphere in recent decades. This trend is observed against the background of a general increase in near-surface temperature in the NH during the spring seasons. The following SAB parameters were used in the study: quantity, average duration, total duration, intensity, and size. Statistically significant increases were obtained for the total duration, quantity, and size of SAB, associated with an increase in the average spring near-surface temperature in the NH.
