Abstract
The results of climatic generalization and analysis of the observation series on air temperature, precipitation and snow cover in the regions of the Arctic Seas and at the stations of the Canadian Archipelago to the north of 70° N are presented for the period 1981–2010. One uses data of meteorological observations at the permanent coastal and island stations and at the «North Pole» drifting stations and data from drifting buoys in the Arctic Basin. Quantitative estimates of the tendencies of change of the considered meteorological characteristics for the last 30 years in the areas of the Arctic Seas and in the Arctic Basin are presented.
