Banja Luka area has characteristics of moderate continental climate. Data used for the analysis covers the time period of 52 years (1961-2012) and it refers to precipitation and air temperature data obtained from Banja Luka Meteorological Station. The objective of the data analysis is proving current climate changes. For their better understanding, the climate data are divided into two periods: a) from 1961 to 2009 and b) from 2010 to 2012. Potential evapotranspiration, as well as the soil water balance, were calculated for these two periods. The potential evapotranspiration has been calculated using Thornthwaite's method. The analysis of meteorological data for the first period (1961-2009) showed that the average annual air temperature was 11.0ºC and the average amount of annual rainfall was 1038.8 mm. However, for the second period (2010-2012) the average annual air temperature was 12.2ºC, and the average amount of annual rainfall was 975.2 mm. The calculated results showed that the recent climate change happening on a global scale, with global warming, has also been present in the Banja Luka area. Such climate change could have immense harmful consequences on the overall economic development, public health and the safety of material goods. Changes of the climate, with global warming, reflect negatively, primarily in terms of agriculture, water resources, land and especially natural ecosystems, such as forests. The climate data and soil water balance analysis is a good basis for planning agricultural adaptation to climate change conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
