ABSTRACT In this article, the results of an investigation into the air temperature conditions in Novaya Zemlya Archipelago and Vaygach Island ( NZR ) from 1832 to 1920, on the basis of all available early instrumental data gathered during exploratory and scientific expeditions, are presented. Traditional analysis based on mean monthly data was supplemented by an approach less popular in the scientific literature, i.e. the additional use of daily data.
