Abstract
Air temperature is the most important, and therefore also most often studied, climatological element. This is as true for the Arctic as it is for everywhere else. For this reason, our knowledge about this element, in comparison with others, is the best, but is still not sufficient for some parts of the Arctic (e.g. the central Arctic and the inner part of Greenland).
