20-Year Arctic Autumn Seasonal Surface Temperature Trend

Here the 20-year seasonal surface temperature trend for the autumn is shown over the Arctic region. This animation shows the warming and cooling regions in steps from the regions of least change to the areas of greatest change. 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 -0.4 to +0.4 degrees Celsius in increments of .02 degrees. (See color bar below)

This is a video resolution MPEG-2 movie of the 20-Year Autumn Seasonal Surface Temperature Trend animation.
