  1. Northern Canada Climate By: Joon Park, Drew Petit and Atcha Totachawattana

  2. Classification • Arctic • Polar Continental air mass

  3. Description • Cold • Dry • Anti-cyclonic • High pressure • Comes down clockwise • Blue jagged line

  4. Climate Graph • Temperatures below zero • High up north (latitude) • Lower amount of precipitation (cold) • More precipitation in the summer months (warmer) • Dry cold air mass • 40˚C temperature range • Close to the Beaufort Sea, but water is frozen, so acts like a land mass • Snow and sleet

  5. Mr. LAMPNOC • Mountain Ranges - yes (Innuitian Mountains) • Latitude - yes (arctic circle - cold) • Altitude - yes (colder in the mountains than in lowlands) • Masses of Air - yes (creates Polar Continental • - affects south-eastern Canada) • Pressure - yes (high pressure, anti-cyclonic) • Nearness to Water - yes (water is partially frozen) • Ocean Currents - no (no oceans) • Continentality - yes (surrounded by ice)

  6. Bibliography • Textbook • Clark, Bruce and John Wallace. Making Connections. pages 127 to 143 (Ontario: Prentice Hall Ginn Canada 1999)
