Description

In Estonian conditions, winter is believed to be the most sensitive season to climate change. The generation and movement of the determining climate air masses depend on the location of the polar front and on cyclo genetic activity over the Northen Atlantic. Specific effects include regional forcing by the water vapor, clouds and aerosols. In summer and fall, the climate forming air can have a different origin and can be more stable. Still, it is poorly understood how the local effects of atmospheric circulation depend on the global energy distribution pattern and its changes
