CLIMATE NORMALS AND PRECIPITATION DYNAMICS IN CULTIVATED LANDS OF SUBMOUNTAIN FOREST-STEPPE ZONE OF CENTRAL CAUCASUS FOR 1961-2014 (ACCORDING TO THE VLADIKAVKAZ METEOROLOGICAL STATION)

The analysis of long-term precipitation dynamics (1961-2014) on the meteorological station (m/s) Vladikavkaz located in submountain forest-steppe zone of Central Caucasus (702 m A.S.L.) with high degree of humidity is given in this article. Existence of adequate data based on the calculated climate normals for 1961-1990 and changes in humidity in the meteorological station coverage for 1991-2014 is necessary for receiving more reliable estimates of climatic changes and their usage in agriculture.
