Abstract: The surface energy balance in Antarctica is examined by summarizing and comparing field data collected at seven locations in five latitudinal zones, each having different ice surface characteristics which are specified. ...

Abstract: The microclimates of the arctic tundra at Barrow, Alaska, are described for the near-surface terrestrial layers in which most biological activities take place. Temperature profiles are constructed from detailed measurements ...

Abstract: An Arctic region climate system model has been developed to simulate coupled interactions among the atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and land surface of the western Arctic. The atmospheric formulation is based upon the NCAR ...
