Summary On the basis of 10 years monthly and long-term annual data the importance of the antarctic ice-snow cover and correlated indices has been discussed. By computing time-lag correlation analyses of the ice-snow indices and different atmospheric indices of the northern hemisphere and some hydroclimatic regimes in China, it could be shown that a close relationship between sea-ice in the Antarctic and the intensity and area indices of the subtropical West Pacific high exists. It was also possible to prove a close relationship between antarctic ice-snow indices and the annual run-off of the Yellow River at Sanmenxia, and between rainfall over North China and the lower sections of the Yellow river.
