The Impact of Climatic Hazards on Environment in the Targovi te Plain

The analysis of the main climate elements allows the characterization of the geographical area of the Targovi te Plain from the climatic viewpoint (located at the contact of two major physical-geographical units, the Sub-Carpathians and the plateau, the Targovi te Plain has benefited from the natural and human resources offered by the two units, as well as by the presence of the Ialomi a and the Dambovi a rivers on the margins; within the Romanian Plain, the Targovi te Plain has a peripheral position, being bordered by the subsidence plain of Titu-S lcu a in the south, south-west and south-east, and by the piedmont plain of Cricovul Dulce). This analysis was made based on the data recorded at the weather station of Targovi te (located at 228 m altitude, 44056' N latitude, 25026' E longitude) and at the weather station of Titu (125 m altitude, 45036’ latitude N, 26025’ longitude E) during the period between 1961 and 2007. The annual, seasonal and monthly values of the Standardized Precipitation Anomaly (SPA) was calculated and interpreted.
