Climate, Radiation Balance, Atmospheric Periodicity, and Hydrothermal Regime of the Absheron Peninsula
Abstract
The Absheron Peninsula, located on the western coast of the Caspian Sea, is characterized by a semi-arid climate and frequent wind activity. These factors and proximity to the sea, combine to create a distinctive agroclimatic setting. This study examines the region’s solar radiation patterns, atmospheric periodicity and hydrothermal balance using a combination of observational data and climate assessments. The results reveal a persistent imbalance between solar energy supply and scarce water availability, along with significant meteorological influences that limit agricultural productivity. In response, this paper outlines tailored land use and sustainable farming strategies adapted to the ecological context of the Absheron Peninsula.
