Contemporary characteristics of air temperature distribution in the territory of Azerbaijan

Abstract

In the article, the distribution of air temperature in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan
in 1961-2020 and its dynamics compared with 1881-1960 are determined. As a result of
mathematical, statistical, and cartographic analyses, it was confirmed once again that the
temperature regime of the republic has characteristics of change from the north to the south
and from the plain to the highlands. In addition to this, multi-year average, seasonal indicators
of temperature quantity in individual regions of the territory of the republic were determined.
The maximum indicators of the perennial average temperature quantity were observed in the
Kura-Araz plain in the range of 14.6-15.4 0C. The results of the research can be used in the
future in the research of the climate regime, and its changes, during the creation of agriculture,
tourism industry, and other large-scale industries in the area.
