NSIDC's Arctic Climatology and Meteorology Primer

[Dogmudgeon]

Having trouble making sense of the Great Arctic Melt-Down? The NSIDC's (National Snow and Ice Data Center) Arctic Climatology and Meteorology Primer will give you a grounding in the "cryometeorology" -- literally, ice-cold weather -- of the area. The NSIDC is a Russian-American-Canadian effort and has made a number of Russian-language papers available in English. The website is largely drawn from a CD-ROM atlas.

The website is an excellent educational resource, starting at a rock-bottom level of assuming no weather knowledge, and progressing to college-level topics. Two or three hours spent at the site will give you a thorough education in the climatology and weather dynamics of the Arctic -- something that a whole lot of people are going to be learning about over the next few years.
