The climate is transitional between the humid and moderate Black Sea coast, and the drier and more continental Anatolian interior. Average annual rainfall varies from 500 to 1,000 mm. In the western and central portions of the ecoregion, winter is the rainiest season, and in the east spring is the rainiest season. [1]
The climate is varies from east to west and north to south. Winters are milder and rainfall is generally higher where the climatic influence of the Mediterranean Sea is strongest, and while the eastern and northern portions of the ecoregion closer to Central Anatolia have a more continental climate, with colder winters and lower rainfall.
The ecoregion occupies the plateau of Central Anatolia. Belts of forested mountains surround the ecoregion, with the Mediterranean-climate Anatolian conifer and deciduous mixed forests and Southern Anatolian montane conifer and deciduous forests ecoregions in western and southern mountains, and the more temperate-climate Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests in the ranges to the north.
Climate change poses significant challenges for rainfed agriculture and therefore the entire economy. [114] Analysis of weather patterns suggest drought conditions and other extreme weather increased in Sudan during the 20th century. [115] The relationship between climate change, water conflict and the war in Sudan has also been a topic of ...
The Northern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests ecoregion covers the Pontic Mountains, which enclose Central Anatolia on the north. Some scientists suggested that characteristics of some parts of the Central Anatolian steppe could have been antropogenic by regarding historical and botanical clues.
The climate is dry and continental, with extreme winter cold and heavy snowfall. Average annual precipitation ranges from 600 to 1,000 mm. The Mediterranean climate regions of the eastern Mediterranean lie to the south and southwest. The climate of the Black Sea region to the north is more humid and moderate. [2]
With its enhanced climate monitoring capability – combining observations from ground-based stations, satellites and model-based reanalysis – climate change can be better understood and predicted. Near real-time updates for the E–OBS daily gridded dataset will be used for the monitoring of extreme events in EURO4M.
The NRC committee's report (the North report) was published on 22 June 2006. [5] Committee member John Michael Wallace said that "Our conclusion is that this recent period of warming is likely the warmest in the last millennium", and added that "This doesn't change the scientific landscape in terms of the greenhouse warming debate".
