LONG-TERM VARIABILITY OF PRECIPITATION FORM IN HORNSUND (SPITSBERGEN) IN RELATION TO ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION (1979–2009)
The paper discusses the impact of the atmospheric circulation on the long-term variability of liquid, mixed and solid precipitation. The three precipitation forms were characterised by their totals, the number of days when they prevailed, and the contribution of each to the overall precipitation tot...
