Climate change

   What is being done to solve the problems   

Temperature changes. At the beginning of the 20ht century air temperature sliding over decades exceeded perennial mean temperature and kept above it up to 1921-1930. The period of 1910-1925 was the warmest. Beginning from 1921-1930, up to 1931-1940, mean annual air temperature was below normal. 1934 was the coldest year. The warming, which began since 1931-1940, continued till 1942-1951. After 1951, there was a transition of temperatures over the annual mean level to their decline; a reverse transition took place in 1952-1961. The temperature background above normal has been holding for almost three decades.

      Perennial mean annual trend of surface air temperature at the station Frunze (the cold half-year)      

 The periods of mean annual temperatures fluctuations well agree with the values of the solar cycle, the double solar cycle, and Brickner, s cycle. Over the last decades annual mean temperature in Bishkek fluctuated close to perennial mean values with a tendency to increase. Over the century, the linear trend rate in the cold half-year fluctuated from 1.1oC (the station Tien Shan) to 3.5oC (the station Frunze).
