Preferred term

Arctic and subarctic climate  

Definition

  • The earth's arctic and subarctic climates are located over the highest latitudes of the globe, typically poleward of 50 degrees latitude. Because these climates are located at high latitudes, they are mostly driven by a dramatic seasonal shift of incoming solar radiation.
