Seasonal climatology of cloud at resolute (75°N)

Abstract: An analysis of surface observations of cloud characteristics from a selected highlatitude station, Resolute (N. W. T., Canada), is described. The data set has a high temporal resolution (1 h) and is extensive although here we report only on an analysis of 10 years : 1970-1979, inclusive. The pattern of cloudiness variations is more complex than previous studies of Arctic data have suggested. The predominant reported low-level cloud type is stratocumulus, not stratus. The generally overcast summer conditions ar… Show more

“…In general, cloud amount was observed to be greater than seven-or eight-tenths cover. These observations are consistent with other studies that show a definite and substantial increase in Arctic summer cloud cover in the region (Crane and Henderson-Sellers et al, 1985). There were less than five days when cloud over was less than five-tenths and only two of those days had times of completely clear skies.…”
