Abstract: The paper describes climatic conditions of the north−western part of Oscar II Land (Spitsbergen) based on meteorological data from 1975 to 2000, which were taken from Ny Ålesund and Kaffiöyra−Heggodden stations. The changes in annual courses of main climatic elements are investigated. Howe...

It was found that the climate of the studied area differs considerably from the climate of the central−inner and southern parts of the western coast of Spitsbergen (areas represented by the Svalbard Lufthavn and Hornsund stations respectively). The differences in climatic elements, however, are not stable throughout the year and in particular seasons and months can even change signs. Thus, any generalisation of results obtained based on seasonal data is inadmissible. It was also found that the wind conditions of the Kaffiöyra re− gion are more representative of the north−western part of Oscar II Land than are the wind conditions of the Ny Ålesund region.
