  2. Arctic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic

    The Arctic region is a unique area among Earth's ecosystems. The cultures in the region and the Arctic indigenous peoples have adapted to its cold and extreme conditions. Life in the Arctic includes zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds, land animals, plants, and human societies. [3] Arctic land is bordered by the subarctic.

  3. Arctic Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle

    The Arctic Circle, at roughly 66.5° north, is the boundary of the Arctic waters and lands. The Arctic Circle is one of the two polar circles, and the northernmost of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth at about 66° 34' N. [1] Its southern counterpart is the Antarctic Circle.

  4. Arctic Ocean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Ocean

    The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five oceanic divisions. [1] It spans an area of approximately 14,060,000 km 2 (5,430,000 sq mi) and is the coldest of the world's oceans. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea. [2]

  5. Arctic ice pack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_ice_pack

    The Arctic ice pack is the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and its vicinity. The Arctic ice pack undergoes a regular seasonal cycle in which ice melts in spring and summer, reaches a minimum around mid-September, then increases during fall and winter. Summer ice cover in the Arctic is about 50% of winter cover. [1]

  8. Arctic oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_oscillation

    The Arctic oscillation index is defined using the daily or monthly 1000 hPa geopotential height anomalies from latitudes 20° N to 90° N. The anomalies are projected onto the Arctic oscillation loading pattern, [ 5 ] which is defined as the first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of monthly mean 1000 hPa geopotential height during the 1979 ...
