| Abstract: | Based on the results of multiannual oceanographic research at the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute in the “Kola Meridian”
secular section, the recent tendencies of cyclic climate changes in the Barents Sea are discussed on the basis of the data
on ice coverage and coastal meteorological conditions. It has been shown that a return from the extremely warm and warm state
to the normal one was observed in the period of winter 2005/06–winter 2010/11. Further, this may be changed both to cooling
and warming, which verifies the hypothesis about predominance of cyclic natural variability in the thermal and ice characteristics
of the Arctic Region. |
