  2. Polar climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_climate

    The polar climate regions are characterized by a lack of warm summers but with varying winters. Every month a polar climate has an average temperature of less than 10 °C (50 °F). Regions with a polar climate cover more than 20% of the Earth's area.

  3. Arctic geoengineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_geoengineering

    Arctic geoengineering is a type of climate engineering in which polar climate systems are intentionally manipulated to reduce the undesired impacts of climate change. As a proposed solution to climate change, arctic geoengineering is relatively new and has not been implemented on a large scale.

  4. Polar regions of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_regions_of_Earth

    Visualization of the ice and snow covering Earth's northern and southern polar regions Northern Hemisphere permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in purple. The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are Earth's polar ice caps, the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles.

  5. Climate of the Arctic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_the_Arctic

    A map of the Arctic. The red line is the 10 °C isotherm in July, commonly used to define the Arctic region; also shown is the Arctic Circle. The white area shows the average minimum extent of sea ice in summer as of 1975. [1] The climate of the Arctic is characterized by long, cold winters

  6. Polar high - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_High

    The cold temperatures in the polar regions cause air to descend, creating the high pressure (a process called subsidence), just as the warm temperatures around the equator cause air to rise instead and create the low pressure Intertropical Convergence Zone.

  7. Köppen climate classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification

    The Köppen climate classification divides climates into five main climate groups, with each group being divided based on patterns of seasonal precipitation and temperature. The five main groups are A (tropical), B (arid), C (temperate), D (continental), and E (polar). Each group and subgroup is represented by a letter.

  8. Why climate change could make some places colder

    As much of the Northern Hemisphere continues to bake in a year of unprecedented heat waves linked to climate change, one paradoxical consequence of rising global temperatures is that some areas of ...

  9. Polar ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_ecology

    Polar regions also contain the subantarctic and subarctic zone which separate the polar regions from the temperate regions. Antarctica and the Arctic lie in the polar circles . The polar circles are imaginary lines shown on maps to be the areas that receives less sunlight due to less radiation.
