The simulation of arctic climate with a global general circulation model / Lawrence W. Gates. - 40 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm - The Rand paper series ; P-5240 . - Rand paper series ; P-5240 .

'A two-level global circulation model is used to simulate the Arctic climate for both January and July. From separate month-long simulations, the summer and winter distributions of pressure, surface air temperature, precipitation and cloudiness north of 50 N are compared with the corresponding observed fields.'--Abstract
