The paper continues the discussion concerning the computational decision making on evolution of local climate dynamics taking into account inevitable nonlinear nature of such systems and deficiency of reliable data on its dynamics. Here we focus on seasonality in the context of bifurcation phenomena described by the model of the hysteresis regulator with double synchronization (so-called HDS-model). From this conception, the method of structuring and analysis of meteorological data (method of relative scales) is proposed, where new useful information on local seasonal evolution becomes available. First of all, it concerns increase in analytical resolution (daily description in a climate scale). The key procedures of this method provide building the specialized seasonal structures in relative time scales. Advantages are illustrated in comparison with the traditional processing the time series of temperature observations on daily mean surface air temperature over last century. We believe that the results could be interesting in order to increase the confidence of estimations on coming climate changes.References
