In order to better understand the water cycle over tundra, micro-meteorlogical and hydrological observations were carried
out over tundra near Tiksi, North-eastern Siberia and seasonal variations of energy budget components were estimated for two
years. As an average, net radiation was partitioned for sensible heat flux 25-30%, for latent heat flux 50-55% and for soil
conductive heat flux 20%. Those ratios were changed by wind direction. The southwesterly winds were warm and dry, made the
sensibe heat flux small or its direction changed to ground surface, and the northeasterly winds were cold, gave the sensible
heat flux to the atmosphere from the tundra surface. The southwesterly winds were associated with cyclone intrusions to this
area and the northeasterly winds with anti-cyclones. More frequent intrusions of cyclones would decrease the sensible heat
flux and increase the latent heat flux. A simple air temperature increase experiments using a simple heat balance model
showed the sensible heat flux unchanged and the latent heat flux and conducetive heat flux in soil increased.
