Abstract

There are different points of view on the role of the atmospheric heat and moisture transport in increasing summer warming in the Arctic, which are often based on the analysis of average annual data. In this paper, the analysis of summer atmospheric transport, their influence on air temperature and water vapor content in the atmosphere, trends in multi-year transport changes are fulfilled. It is noted the important role of moisture inflows from the Arctic Ocean in the summer season and their influence on the growth of long-wave radiation and amplification of sea ice shrinking.
