Malinin V. N. , Radikevich V. M. , Gordeeva S. M. , Kulikova L. A. SPb. Hydrometeoizdat, 2003. — 172 s. The results of the calculation of the indices of the vortex activity of the atmosphere (intensity, repeatability of cyclones and anticyclones) over the North Atlantic for 1946-1996 are given. Their climatological estimates, space-time variability, statistical relations with hydrometeorological processes and characteristics. are considered. The genesis of formation of interannual oscillations of horizontal water vapor transfer, as well as methods of its parameterization. are discussed. Spatio-temporal variability of horizontal moisture transport and its possible impact on inter-annual fluctuations of land surface moisture and flow of large ETR rivers. The book is intended for specialists in the field of climatology, hydrology and oceanology. Can be useful for graduate students and students of relevant specialties.
