Abstract
By the method of cluster analysis, we obtain a collection of meteorological fields for six typical synoptic situations in Eastern Europe for 1982–1996. We study the possibility of evaluation of the climatic characteristics of the field of precipitations for the Black-Sea region on the basis of a mesoscale atmospheric model with the use of certain statistically selected typical situations as input data.
