Climate changes revealed by trends in snow cover duration and surface albedo over the whole snowy season for Estonian territory are studied. An indirect method is used for deducing surface albedo from snow cover duration. Approximate values for the monthly albedo have been derived from the snow cover data for some 100 spots from 1962 to 1995. As indicators of climate changes, the time series of mean areal values and standard deviations of snow cover duration and surface albedo have been considered. It is concluded that for this period the snow cover duration and surface albedo have substantially decreased and their areal variability in Estonia have increased.
