Long–Term Variability of Sea Ice and Air Temperature Conditions Along the Estonian Coast
The results of the analysis of long-term time series regarding ice conditions along the Estonian coast are presented in this paper. This work was focused on the analysis of air temperature, onset of freezing and melting air temperatures, the sums of negative degree-days and the number of ice days. M...
