Description
Summary:In the polar regions, its is difficult to place current weather and climate trends in a long-term climatological perspective, primarily because the meteorological records there are limited in time and space in comparison with other regions of the globe. The low spatial density of polar meteorological data makes it challenging to separate local changes from regional or even continental-scale changes. Reanalyses, which assimilate all available observations into
