dc.description.abstractThe annual, seasonal, and monthly trends of air temperatures were analyzed for thirteen urban and five rural meteorological stations in Kazakhstan for the 1963-2020 period. The non-parametric Mann-Kendall (M-K) rank correlation and Sen's slope estimator methods and the parametric least-squares linear regression (LSLR) were used to determine whether there were positive or negative statistically significant trends in mean, average maximum, and minimum air temperature time series along with diurnal temperature ranges (DTRs), and temperature differences between five large and small cities. In addition, Kazakhstan's annual and seasonal air temperature series were analyzed in terms of autocorrelation (serial correlation) coefficients. Coefficients of variations indicated that mean annual temperature variability is the highest in northern cities. Results of the M-K trend test indicated that the highest and lowest increases in the mean air temperatures were observed in spring and autumn, respectively. The magnitudes of the significant increasing trends in annual air temperature ranged between 0.23 & DEG;C/decade at Karagandy and 0.54 & DEG;C/decade at Kyzylorda. Annual and seasonal diurnal temperature ranges (DTRs) reveal insignificantly decreasing and increasing trends at most of the stations characterized by urbanization. According to the results of both M-K and LSLR tests, annual and winter air temperature differences of some station pairs tend to significantly increase, which may mean that the differences in the calculated temperature range between large and small cities might have widened significantly. However, significance test for the calculated autocorrelation coefficients of the annual and seasonal air temperature data showed that most of the series clearly appear as a low-frequency variability on the significantly increased long-term averages.
