Tóm tắt

AbstractResults of research work concerning the spatial estimation of precipitation and air temperature and the representation of different climatic indices, which assess the climate of a region in northern Greece, are reported. The climatic indices used were the Johansson Continentality Index, the Kerner Oceanity Index, the De Martonne Aridity Index and the Pinna Combinative Index. Data from 15 meteorological stations located in northern Greece during the period 1965–1995 were analysed and processed on a monthly basis and graphs of precipitation and temperature were constructed for use in agricultural applications. Köppen's classification was also investigated for the 15 stations. GIS interpolation techniques, such as the inverse distance weighted (IDW) function, were used for the areal estimation of the above mentioned parameters in northern Greece and an evaluation of the climate indices was made, based on the results.
