Abstract: Synoptic activity in the Arctic basin from 70°?907deg;N is examined for the period 1979?85, using improved pressure analyses incorporating data from a network of drifting buoys. Geographical and seasonal variations in ...

Abstract: Precipitation and temperature data since records began in southwestern Colorado are analyzed on a seasonal basis. Interstation correlations for recent years indicate that the region responds fairly uniformly to seasonal ...

Abstract: Using an extensive rawinsonde archive, characteristics of Arctic water vapor and its transports at 70°N are examined for the period 1974?1991. Monthly-mean profiles and vertically integrated values of specific humidity and ...

Abstract: Spatial and temporal variations of surface albedo on the North Slope of Alaska were investigated using both ground-based tower measurements and satellite remote sensing data. Ground-based measurements of incident and ...

Abstract: Output from a cyclone detection and tracking algorithm, applied to twice-daily sea level pressure (SLP) fields for the period 1966?93, is used to examine the characteristics of cyclone activity associated with the locus ...

Abstract: Visible-band satellite imagery is used to manually map surface brightness changes over sea ice throughout the Arctic Basin from May to mid-August over a 10-yr period. These brightness changes are primarily due to snowmelt ...
