ATLAS OF ARCTIC ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
The text provides supplementary information concerning sources and reliability of a series of twenty-two maps prepared at the request of the Geophysics Research Directorate, Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. The purpose of the study was to map the distributions of various climatic and terrain phenomena which might influence the selection of unprepared landing sites for wheeled aircraft in the Arctic. The study area includes all lands north of 65 degrees North Latitude. Despite the presence of dashed isopleths over ocean areas (included to give continuity to the lines), no reliable indication of landing conditions on sea ice is intended.
