Review of the first edition: ' comprehensive and up-to-date book A wealth of valuable information about the recent climate of the Arctic is presented in this excellent volume This is one of the best books on the Arctic climate system and should be required reading for all scientists and students engaged in the study of the Arctic environment.'

It is the first to provide an integrated assessment of the Arctic climate system, recognizing that a true understanding of how the Arctic functions lies in appreciating the interactions and linkages among its various components. Following a review of past climates (paleoclimates), the book closes with an assessment of the Arctic's uncertain future. Though targeted mainly at advanced students and researchers, this book is accessible to anyone with an interest in the Arctic and a basic understanding of climate science.. The book has also been extensively reorganized to weave issues of Arctic change throughout the text, rather than confining them to a single chapter. This second edition brings this definitive book completely up to date with the many advances in our understanding of Arctic climate since the first edition was published in 2005. The book begins with a historical perspective, followed by discussion of the basic physical and climatic characteristics of the Arctic
Great Intro to the Arctic Josh A great introduction to the Arctic Climate. Easy to read and understand, and there are plenty of cited research articles to check out if you want to dive deeper into the research. It's better for upper-level undergraduates or graduate students, though, since there is a lot of background knowledge that you should have to full. "Five Stars" according to John HistoryGuy. This is an excellent text for learning about the Arctic and weather phenomenon. Highly recommend it!
