Abstract

The aim is to determine the patterns of movement of cloud systems over the European territory of Russia (ETR) on the basis of observational data from specialized spacecraft. Materials and methods. In the course of the study, hourly analog satellite images of the ETR and adjacent territories were used. The main research methods are graphic-analytical and expert assessments. Results and discussion. The repeatability of the directions of transfer of cloud systems in different seasons of the year for different regions on the ER has been obtained. Some features of the dynamics of cloud systems in recent years are revealed. Signifi cant repeatability of previously uncharacteristic transformations of cloud systems is noted. Conclusions. The expediency of using space methods for studying cloud systems and features of atmospheric circulation is shown.
