Biometeorological Conditions in the Arctic During the First International Polar Year, 1882–1883
Abstract The article provides an initial description of the biometeorological conditions in the Arctic during the first International Polar Year (IPY 1) of 1882-1883. The study is based on hourly measurements taken from nine stations which represent most of the climatic regions in the Arctic. The di...
