Abstract

The influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on surface temperature anomalies over the territory of Ukraine was analyzed, using the method of “composites”. It is shown that the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation determines positive temperature anomalies formation, especially pronounced in the northern and north-western regions of Ukraine in January and February. The typical value of the monthly average temperature anomalies – a few degrees. Moreover, most of these anomalies are significant as the confidence level of 90-95%.
