The change in the parameters for the climatic elements and
phenomena has become the main topic of many current researches. Given
to the complexity and the local distinctions of the climatic factors, these
changes are not homogenous and thus some regions get warmer, while
others get colder, some become more arid, others more humid. The purpose
of the current study is to identify the thermo-pluviometric changes recorded
in the geographical area localized between the Eastern Carpathians and the
Dniester Valley, based on the meteorological data registered between 1961
– 2010 at the Ceahlău-Toaca, Suceava, Iași (in Romania), Chișinău, and
Tiraspol (in the Republic of Moldova meteorological stations. In order to
determine the evolutionary trends, the Mann-Kendall test was applied
combined with Sen`s slope. Therefore, based on the research performed, it
was found that, during the 1961 – 2010 period, in the area localized between
the Carpathians and the Dniester, there has been a general trend of climatic
warming and a slight decrease of the rainfall quantity (especially for the
Ceahlău mountain area). This result is confirmed and reinforced by other
studies of climate conducted at European level, hence allowing these climate
trends to be integrated easily into the general trend of regional warming.
