The snow cover usually appears in late September and remains till the beginning of July the next year. The snow depth keeps growing till the first half of March and from then on, until the third dekad of May it does not change. Towards the end of May fast decrease of snow cover occurs mainly due to subsidence by intensive insolation. If compared to the Arctic Basin the snow cover appears in Hornsund three dekads later and disappears about two dekads sooner.}, type={Article}, title={Snow depth at the Hornsund Station, Spitsbergen in 1978—1986}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/111128/PDF-MASTER/1991-2_223-228.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, snow depth}, }
