Abstract

The effect of clouds, wind speed and long-wave radiative balance on the surface and near-surface air temperature in the Arctic during polar night is presented. The most pronounced bimodality in frequency distributions of the cloud fraction corresponding to cloudy and clear-sky situations is found for the stations NP-35 (2007-2008), NP-37 (2009-2010) and NP-38 (2010-2011). A strong impact of the presence or absence of clouds on the air-surface temperature difference is shown. For clear-sky situations nonmonotonic dependency of near-surface air temperature on wind speed is found.
