Data Analysis Climate variability Air-sea interaction Large scale Upwelling Sea ice Air-land interaction Snow Local responses Climate predictability Linear model Analog technique	The control experiment used large scale fields of the interval February-October 1995 (the winter of 1995-1996 had a strong negative NAO/AO phase). Firstly, we remove the snow cover over the key region in Southern Siberia in the interval February-July. Then, the snow amount: A.is left to melt itself normally, with melted snow going in runoff and soil; B.is totally put in runoff term, without contributing to the soil moisture. The same type of experiments are conducted for October, too. More about RegCM http://users.ictp.it/~pubregcm/RegCM3/	EOF CCA POP MICOM
