We identified and interpreted spatiotemporal changes in cold waves of various genesis over the Crimean Peninsula using comparative analysis of satellite data from MODIS/Terra spectroradiometer, synoptic information and data from a discrete network of meteorological observations. To define cold waves, we used 3rd percentile thresholds for the annual distribution of minimum and mean daily temperature. We found that based on direction, cold waves in the region divide into five groups: three groups with a northern component (76 %), two groups with a southern component (24 %). All the groups are characterized by common patterns: a cold wave formation is preceded by a cyclone and associated frontal sections, the duration and intensity of subsequent cold influx depend on the orientation of the zone of baric gradients and their magnitude. We identified the most powerful cold waves associated with the invasion from the northeastern direction onto the Black Sea coast, for which cloudless zones with a pronounced flow direction are observed, according to MODIS data. These zones indicate significant wind speeds, typical of the Black Sea and Novorossiysk boras in winter.
Keywords: Black Sea region, Crimean Peninsula, cold waves, MODIS/Terra satellite images
