SUMMARY 



Our knowledge of arctic climate is based on sparse records even 

 though collected at various places over a period of many years. 

 More than in most other geographic areas, the success of a given 

 operation and indeed the very safety of the unit depend on accu- 

 rate and timely forecasts of weather. The data contained herein 

 can form one of the bases for consideration in planning arctic 

 operations. Included as appendix A is a brief description of 

 Antarctic climate as understood at this time. It is to serve as 

 reference matter for personnel connected with exploring expedi- 

 tions to Antarctica.
