Latitudinal variations of North-East Asia cloudiness during stage of increasing of the activity of 23-rd solar cycle

The averaged maps of the low, high and total cloudiness over North-East Asia region (80 degrees-170 degrees E., 40 degrees-80 degrees N.) are obtained from NOAA satellites data for 1997-2004. The cloudiness maps for 1997-1998 and 2000-2002 respective to minimum and maximum of activity of 23rd solar cycle are analyzed. The behavior of the large-scale cloudiness (about hundreds kilometers) is related with geographical location and orography of region and defined by trajectories of dominant cyclones. On a growth phase of solar activity the more appreciable variations of high cloudy cover are observed in latitudinal range 45 degrees-70 degrees than to the south and to the north. At range 55 degrees-70 degrees the cloudiness increases on 5 %, while at 45 degrees-55 degrees the cloudiness decreases on 5 %. The picture of change of the low cloudiness has other character: cloudiness to the north from 50-th parallel during maximum of solar activity is above than in a minimum, but to the south the opposite picture is observed The latitudinial displacement of cloudiness is explained by displacement of ways of the western cyclones depending on solar activity.
