Abstract: parameters and the Baltic sea ice condition. The sea ice conditions were represented by severity indices calculated for 7 basins of the Baltic Sea: Western Baltic, Southern Baltic, Gulf of Finland e. g. Finnish coast and Russian coast, Sea of Bothnia, Norra Kvarken and Bay of Bothnia. The impact of climate changed were calculated by downscaling methods as well as by correlation coefficient for 3 types of atmospheric circulation (by Osuchowska-Klein, Niedzwiedz and Litynski) for Southern Baltic sea ice index. between large-scale atmospheric circulation over Europe and North Atlantic and sea ice severity indices. Atmospheric circulation was characterized by November-April mean Sea Level Pressure anomalies. Temporal coverage of created model was 1971-1990, model validation was made for period 1956-2005. The results show the influence (correlation coefficient statistically significant over 0.8) of the climate change parameters on the sea ice conditions.
