Climatic Changes in Territory of the Saratov Region and Their Influence on Productivity of Agricultural Crops

Long-term variability of some meteorological parameters in the Saratov region is analyzed in this paper. For the period of observation from 1930 to 2004 at six stations in the Saratov region, linear trends of average, maximal and minimal air temperatures, the sum of atmospheric precipitations for various months and seasons have been gained. These results suggest reduction of continentality of a climate in the region.
