Abstract

The mathematical position in the center of the northern moderate belt and the form and location of the basin in the windy coastal mountain range (Velebit) are basic factors predisposing the climatic characteristics of Lika. The macrorelief structure, i.e. relief dynamics, has as a consequence a great modifying effect upon the relief, which more or less is evident in all the climatic elements. The result of this is a great variety of climates in a reasonably small area. According to Köppen climate classification, in Lika four subtypes of climate can be differentiated, i.e. corresponding climating areas: 1. Moderate continental climatic area with cool summers (Cfc), 2. Mediterranean climatic area with cool summers (Csc), 3. Mediterranean climatic area with hot summers (Csa), and 4. Mountain or snow-forested climatic area (belt) (Dfc).
