| Summary: | Atmosphere circulation is the most important modulator of snow cover parameters. This study deals with the relation between the dominant Northern Hemisphere circulation mode, called the Artic Oscillation (AO), and the spatial distribution of the snow water equivalent (SWE) within the territory of Lithuania. The results indicate an inverse relation between the extreme AO phase and the SWE. However, the largest spatial differences are seen in the positive AO phase. |
