TL;DR: In this paper, ten years of surface weather data from Ocean Weather Station P were subjected to spectral analysis and the results showed that the activity changes both with respect to the size and frequency of the variations during the course of a year.
Abstract: Ten years of surface weather data from Ocean Weather Station P were subjected to spectral analysis. The wind speed and air pressure auto‐spectra reveal large variations at synoptic periods while the auto‐spectra of the sea temperature, air temperature and absolute humidity are dominated by the annual variations. The rotary auto‐spectrum of the wind features a broad peak of activity centered at a period of 3 days. In addition, the spectra of quantities representative of the wind stress and sensible and latent heat fluxes are discussed. Spectra of these surface weather quantities computed for each season show that the activity changes both with respect to the size and frequency of the variations during the course of a year. The cross‐spectra between selected pairs of quantities were also computed and are discussed.

TL;DR: A weather station was established at Sam Lake in the British Moun- tains of the northern Yukon Territory in the summer of 1974 as discussed by the authors, where information was collected on temperature, winds, cloud cover and precipitation.
Abstract: A weather station was established at Sam Lake in the British Moun- tains of the northern Yukon Territory in the summer of 1974. Information was collected on temperature, winds, cloud cover and precipitation. The summer condi- tions were found to be influenced mainly by arctic weather disturbances originating in the Beaufort Sea. A comparison of the information recorded at Sam Lake with that from coastal stations served to demonstrate the buffering effect of the mountains.
