The paper provides a comparison of minimum air temperature (TN), maximum air temperature (TX), mean air temperature (T mean) and a few derived temperature indices for Herschel Island (Qikiqtaruk) in the Yukon Territory, Canada for the periods 1899–1905 and 2008–2014. A significant increase in the TN...
