Abstract

The original methodology of objective classification of the meteorological objects and applied climatic zoning of the Siberian region according to the total and lower cloudiness conditions was considered. This methodology is based on the method of cluster analysis with the use of the average annual values of total and lower cloudiness amount and frequencies for five gradations 0, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10 balls as the informative signs, as well as characteristics of their correlation and specific similarity criteria as a measure of homogeneity signs.
