continental climate

In the article was calculated the annual amplitude in air temperature for 12 stations the Middle Volga Region and the Lower Volga region for to assess the continentality of the region and defined indices of continentality of the climate in five formulas of different authors. The calculation allows to select Zavolzhsky districts of the Saratov and Volgograd regions in region with the most favorable conditions for the cultivation wheat of high-protein.

In the article to assess the continentality of the region’s climate at 10 stations in the Lower Volga region, the annual air temperature amplitudes were calculated, and the climate continentality indices were determined according to 5 formulas of different authors. The carried out calculation allows to allocate Zavolzhsky areas of the Saratov and Volgograd areas in region with as much as possible favorable conditions on cultivation of high-protein wheat.
