Abstract

The study analyzes modern climate change based on the data of the climate monitoring performed by the Izrael Institute of Global Climate and Ecology. A brief description of the surface climate monitoring database and its real-time updating is given. Changes in surface temperature over the Earth’s land with detailing over the territory of Russia and its regions, as well as changes in the precipitation regime in Russia during the period of modern warming are considered. Changes in the statistics of temperature extremes in Russia are analyzed. Some extreme summer seasons are characterized in terms of accompanying their circulation conditions.
