I would like to obtain monthly average temperatures for the north pole (90 degrees N), with monthly maximum/minimum data. I understand that up to date, north pole lack a permanent weatherstation like at the Antarctic pole, but I`ve heard that there should at least exist an automatic weathersender that transmit and record weather data. It doesnt matter if the average data is lesser than the standard 30 years, I would be glad for any possible climatic statistics for this region available. Also, I would like to know, if possible, about the absolute maximum/minimum temperature that was ever recorded on north pole. Also, the percipitation/sunshine etc. data are also desirable, if possible. |

Hi musico, This has turned out to be more of a challenge than I would've thought - I have to quit searching as my eyes are beginning to complain and my brain is turning to mush. I'll leave you with a couple of good links that in themselves don't answer your questions but are interesting none-the-less. The first link listed would be a good one if they had included all twelve months. Monthly temperatures for the winter months only from 1952: Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate (SPARC): The Lower Arctic Stratosphere in Winter since 1952: Table 1: MONTHLY MEAN 30 hPa-NORTHPOLE TEMPERATURES (°C) http://www.aero.jussieu.fr/~sparc/News15/15_Labitzke.html You can order a CD which is chock-a-block full of Arctic data - presumably, you could search for 90 deg N.

The data are in the form of individual marine reports with a given latitude and longitude. A UNIX-based Fortran program is distributed with the data files." http://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0057.html ANALYSIS: Research by the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) and the NASA EOS program Polar Exchange at the Sea Surface (POLES): Variations in Surface Air Temperature Observations in the Arctic, 1979 -1997: http://iabp.apl.washington.edu/AirT/ Download the entire analysis for free in .pdf (it's large): http://iabp.apl.washington.edu/AirT/RigorEtal-SAT.pdf Additional Links: STANDARDIZED NORTHERN HEMISPHERE TELECONNECTION INDICES ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/cpc/wd52dg/data/indices/tele_index.nh IABP/ POLES Surface Temperature Data Set: (the link doesn't work for me) http://psc.apl.washington.edu/POLES/satindex.html National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/gallery_np_weatherdata.html Instruments at the North Pole in 2002: http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/np2002/gallery_np_instruments.html North Pole Web Cam: http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/gallery_np.html I hope someone can find a few nice polar atmospheric tables for you.

Thanks hummer! I found your links as very useful (as Iam a weather enthusiast), and infact, I even ordered the CD you suggested. But, unfortunately, these links doesn`t provide any information on what I was mainly looking for - namely, monthly temperature averages for the north pole. I just hope that someone can find something untill my question expires. Many thanks, musico-ga. |
