Popis: Inter-annual variation of meteorological conditions and their effects on snow and ice thickness in an Arctic lake Unari (67.14° N, 25.73° E) were investigated for winters 1980/1981–2012/2013. The lake snow and ice thicknesses were modelled applying a thermodynamic model, and the results were compared with observations. Regression equations were derived for the relationships between meteorological parameters and modelled snow and ice properties. The composite differences of large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns between seasons of thin and thick ice were analysed. The air temperature had an increasing trend (statistical significance p
