Abstract— The paper proposes an approach to the numerical stochastic modeling of the time series of the wind chill index and equivalent effective temperature at weather stations located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The approach is based on the use of a specially designed stochastic weather generator. It is shown that the approach allows developing the models of the time series of bioclimatic indices that very accurately reproduce various statistical properties of real processes related, in particular, to their daily variations and specific features of the study area.

Keywords: stochastic modeling, non-Gaussian random process, stochastic weather generator, wind chill index, equivalent effective temperature, Arctic zone of the Russian Federation
