Climatic influence on the composition of snow cover at Austre Okstindbreen, Norway, 1989 and 1990
Winter snow cover at Austre Okstindbreen is influenced strongly by patterns of atmospheric circulation, and by air temperatures during precipitation. Differences of circulation over the North Atlantic and Scandinavia during the winters of 1988-89 and 1989-90 were reflected in the ionic and isotopic...
