Abstract
The seasonal precipitation changes in the East European Plain in the periods of warm and cool anomalies of North Atlantic surface temperature in the 20th – beginning of the 21st century were studied in the paper. The difference between spatial distributions of seasonal precipitation in the East European Plain in the opposite phases of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation was found to be significant. In spring, the warm phases of the North Atlantic (1926–1962 and 1995–2012) are associated with a larger amount of precipitation in the East European Plain in general than in cool phase (1963–1994). In contrast, in summer, drier conditions were observed in the same warm phases in the most parts of the East European Plain. It was shown that the coherence of spatial patterns of seasonal precipitation changes during the warm phases of the North Atlantic caused by their response to the similarities of the sea level pressure patterns in the Atlantic-European sector in the same periods.
