Statistical Analysis of Climate Evolution in Dobrudja Region

Abstract

Abstract — The temporal characteristics of temperature evolution are investigated to provide a framework for sustainable resources management in the region of Dobrudja, Romania. Using the statistical analysis, the evolution of temperature is examined. The temperature data for the period 1965-2005, from 10 meteorological stations were used. First, the temporal characteristics of temperature evolution were analysed and then, some break tests are performed in order to identify discontinuities in temperature time series. Finally, the model for trend is performed. The analysis indicates an increasing trend of the mean annual temperature evolution. After 1997 the mean annual temperature increases with 0.8 o C, fact that is in concordance with the estimation made for Europe. Index Terms—Break, statistical analyses, trend. I.
