Yearly Arctic Temperature Anomaly
This animation shows the yearly temperature anomaly over the Arctic region from 1981-82 through 2002-03. Years run from August 1 through July 31. Blue hues indicate cooling regions; red hues depict warming. Light regions indicate less change while darker regions indicate more. The temperature scale used ranges from -7.0 to +7.0 degrees Celsius in increments of .25 degrees (see color bar below).

The yearly temperature anomaly over the Arctic region from 1981-82 through 2002-03.    The yearly temperature anomaly over the Arctic region from 1981-82 through 2002-03.
