"The book has been written by a number of experts within the field and has been carefully edited to form an integrated, cohesive volume. It will be of value to meteorologists and climatologists with an interest in the polar regions, as well as professional weather forecasters concerned with these areas. It may also be used as a supplementary text on graduate courses concerned with high latitude geography, meteorology, and climatology."--Book jacket.
