Abstract
The study of the climate conditions modern transformations in the different countries acquires theoretical and practical significance that is determined by the high activity of climate changes in natural and social processes of the region. Many climate scenarios and forecasts make accent on increasing the frequency of adverse events, including the drought processes under the conditions of climate change. One of the most pronounced manifestations of modern climate change in Ukraine is the growing aridity. It is manifested in the increasing duration and intensity of droughts. This process is associated with the significant reduction of moisture content, leading to consequences that affect functioning of both natural environment and society. Among the landscape components, biota, water (surface and groundwater), and soil cover undergo to the greatest changes due to intensification of arid phenomena. Steady tendencies to gradual changes within the boundaries of natural zones of the studied area are already visible. Ukraine’s economy faces serious challenges due to this fact. The illustrative impact of climate changes is demonstrated by the negative consequences for agriculture. An effective tool for monitoring of the natural environment processes under the influence of climate change, in particular the arid phenomena, is the applying the remote sensing data. This study uses the data from the TERRA/MODIS satellites along with the drought indices. The detailed maps of arid-zonation were developed. Such studies represent the basis of justifying measures for adapting of society to the existing climate change.
