Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems SB RAS, Russia, Tomsk, http://imces.ru E-mail: FoxyJ13@gmail.com INTRODUCTION 4,5 4 Influence of autumn snow cover anomalies in the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere on 3,5 3 atmospheric conditions that form in a subsequent winter season has been of considerable interest to the scientific 2,5 community for many years. 2 1,5 1 Due to the climatic features of Eurasia, the most extensive snow cover is formed in the Siberian part of Eurasia. 0,5 0 According to the satellite observations of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration (NOAA), the Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec main snow cover formation in Siberia occurs precisely in October, that is associated with the change of seasons and Figure 1. Snow cover area over Western Siberia, mln.km 2 , the corresponding change of the atmospheric circulation for this territory. data of the Global Snow Lab of the Rutgers University to assess the persistence of the relationship between the snow cover established in the autumn in Siberia and the atmospheric conditions of this territory that are formed in the following winter DATA and METHOD DATA REGION Snow cover data – the Global Snow Lab of the Rutgers Western Siberia (WS): 55-74 N and 60-90 E. University (https://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/); METHOD AO index – National Weather Service Climate Prediction The correlation coefficients between Siberian snow cover Center (NOAA NWS CPC) / NCEP2 area and the AO index were calculated for the whole time Geopotential Height – NCEP2 reanalysis period 1979-2016, as well as for all nested periods. Original and detrended data were considered.

The study was carried out in the framework of the state budget themes АААА - А18 -118012590014-6.
