Ice regime dynamics in the Nemunas River, Lithuania

Ice cover persistence in the lower reaches of the Nemunas River has decreased during the last 150 yr. The variation in the river freeze- and break-up dates is related to climatic variables. The significance of the negative break-up trend exceeds that of the positive freeze-up trend. Low-frequency la...
