The Climate of the Arctic

The book delves into the crucial role of the Polar regions in shaping global climate, particularly highlighting research from the late 19th century to the present. It emphasizes the sensitivity of these areas to climate change, especially since the rise in global temperatures post-1975. Despite numerous studies on Arctic climates, a comprehensive monograph summarizing the current state of Arctic climate has been lacking since 1970. This work aims to fill that gap by providing essential insights into various meteorological elements and their implications for the global climate system.
