  Abstract:  Thermic Characteristics of the 2006-2007 Winter in the Northwestern Part of Romania. The relief of Romania’s northwestern region is a varied one, in which all the major morphological forms are present: plains, hills and plateaus, mountains, depressions and valley corridors. Synthetically, the territory analyzed in this paper can be divided into two categories: the lower zone (under 800 m) and the mountain zone (with altitudes higher than 800 m). The daily mean temperatures registered during winter of 2006-2007 were 4.1 ºC higher than the multi annual mean values, while the means of the highest and lowest daily temperatures were also higher, with 3.6 and 5.0 ºC. Also, the number of days with positive daily mean temperatures was higher, surpassing 70% of the winter days. Negative minimum temperatures were registered during only 50% of the days of the 2006-2007 winter (compared to 74-97% multi annual values), and the number of days with maximum negative temperatures was 64-81% lower than the climatologic norms. From the analysis of the air temperature values (daily mean, daily highest and daily lowest), measured at 11 meteorological stations from the NW of Romania, resulted that the 2006-2007 winter was the warmest of the 1961-2006 period.
