Variability of Air Temperature and Atmospheric Precipitation in the Arctic

The book explores the critical role of polar regions in Earth's climate formation and their sensitivity to climate change, making them ideal for studying such shifts. It highlights the historical challenges faced in researching these areas due to harsh climatic conditions, which delayed the establishment of meteorological networks until the late 1940s. Consequently, comprehensive analyses of Arctic climatic variability only emerged in the early 1990s, transitioning from localized studies to a broader understanding of the region's climate dynamics.
