The latest Arctic Mercury Assessment Report (AMAP, 2021) and refs. 9,10 show that people living near the Arctic Circle have some of the highest Hg levels in the world due to their traditional diet. In addition, relatively long Arctic food chains can also result in Arctic wildlife being at...
and magnetic observations were made; by the time they were taken off the floe, the group had drifted 19° of latitude and 58° of longitude. Arctic drift was further explored (1937–40) by the Soviet icebreakerSedov.Before World War II the USSR had established many meteorological and radio ...
1. Which of these statements about the Arctic Circle is TRUE? It's a special line of latitude. It's a special line of longitude. It's closer to the Equator than the North Pole. It's very close to the South Pole. 2. Everything north of the Arctic Circle is called ___. the...
The Antarctic (or Antarctica) Circle is one of the five major circles or parallels of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. Shown on the image above with a dashed red line, this parallel of latitude sits at approximately 66.33° south of the Equator. I...
Global warming is expected to be able to trigger abrupt transitions in various components of the climate system. Most studies focus on abrupt changes in the mean state of the system, while transitions in climate variability are less well understood. Here
Situated north of mainland Europe, it is about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. The islands of the group range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The archipelago features an Arctic climate, although with significantly higher temperatures...
Foraging time in the Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus: seasonal and local variations and influence of weather In the western Palearctic, the clutch size of the Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) is constant with latitude and longitude whereas the brood size decreases from south to north, a reverse trend...
The North Pole is the northernmost point on the Earth, lying diametrically opposite the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90¡ North, as well as the direction of true north. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be...
For current climate simulations, both boundary and initial conditions are derived from European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis 5th Generation data (ERA5)90, obtained on a 0.25° latitude × 0.25° longitude grid at 6-h intervals. Boundary and initial conditions fo...
