Chemical composition of snow cover of the Barents and Kara Seas islands
The paper presents the results of generalization and statistical analysis of data on the snow cover composition of Barents (West Svalbard Island, Hayes Island, Kolguev Island) and Kara (Vize Island, Golomyanny Island, Troynoy Island) seas for 2005-2019. A significant interannual variability in the s...
