This work is a complete revision of the 1962 version and contains quick-reference material for operational forecasters as well as background material to enhance further understanding of Arctic phenomena. Satellite imagery case studies are included, and an entire section is devoted to polar low development. The appendices provide monthly maps for average air temperatures, mean surface pressures, and mean 700-mb heights for the Arctic region. Inversion statistics and seasonal ice movement patterns are also included. 收起
