ABSTRACT: This paper presents the reconstructed severity of winter seasons in the northern Baltic Sea on the basis of historical time series of ice break-up at the port of Riga (1529-1990). The winter seasons are classified as mild, average severe.
Results of statistical analysis of time series of the date of ice break-up arranged according to the severity of winter seasons are given. A decreasing trend of about 2.0 d century-1 for the time series of ice break-up dates for severe winters
is detected with statistical significance at the 99.9% level; for the mild and average winter seasons the trends are statistically insignificant.
KEY WORDS: Ice conditions · Severity of winter seasons · Baltic Sea · Trend
