  1. Climatology of the Beaufort and Chukchi Sea Coast Martha Shulski, William Baule, Jinsheng You University of Nebraska - Lincoln Beaufort/Chukchi Seas Midterm Project Meeting 18 Nov, 2010 | Fairbanks, AK

  2. Regional Climate Factors • High latitude, maritime climate region • Highly variable daylight • Low temperatures • Low and under-reported precipitation Beaufort/Chukchi Seas Midterm Project Meeting 18 Nov, 2010 | Fairbanks, AK

  3. Regional Climate Factors • Influence of Beaufort High http://www.helixmedia.nl/webs/mooring/currents.htm Beaufort/Chukchi Seas Midterm Project Meeting 18 Nov, 2010 | Fairbanks, AK

  4. Regional Climate Factors • Influence of Beaufort High • Seasonal sea ice distribution http://nsidc.org Beaufort/Chukchi Seas Midterm Project Meeting 18 Nov, 2010 | Fairbanks, AK

  5. Regional Climate Factors • Influence of Beaufort High • Seasonal sea ice distribution • Strong coastal – inland gradient (temperature) Beaufort/Chukchi Seas Midterm Project Meeting 18 Nov, 2010 | Fairbanks, AK
