The article presents a study on the disappearance of snow in Eastern Siberia and its relationship to atmospheric influences. It examines the Lena River Basin in Eastern Siberia and the variations of snow disappearance in a fifteen-year period. The study mentions that snow disappearance moved northward from April to June. It also found that the melting of snow occurred within thirty days of snow disappearance. The study also relates increased air temperature and water vapor during snow melting with temperature change in the air and increased water vapor in the Lena River Basin.
