Tóm tắt

Based on observational data from 30 weather stations in Georgia for the period of 1936–2013, the geography, statistical structure, intensity, duration, and dynamics of tropical nights are investigated. The geoinformation map was constructed for the number of tropical nights for the WMO base period. The periods of occurrence and return of their different gradations and the regularities of long-term variations are revealed.
