Using various extrapolation and interpolation techniques, serially complete sets of 20-km temperature data were derived for the arctic stations of St. Paul Island and Alert. Frequency distributions for the serially complete data were prepared and compared with those formed using observed temperatures only. The comparisons depicted only minor differences for St. Paul Island but significant differences for Alert. It was concluded that the cause of the bimodal form in any specific distribution is solely due to the relationship between the time of change in thermal conditions and the data period over which the distribution was formed.
