 Calculation of the Arctic Mean Temperature 
				The daily mean temperature of the Arctic area north of the 80th northern 
				parallel is estimated from the average of the 00z and 12z analysis for all model grid points inside that area. 
				The ERA40 reanalysis 
				data set from ECMWF, has been applied to calculate daily 
				mean temperatures for the period from 1958 to 2002. From 2002 to present the  operational model (at all times) from The ECMWF is used for mean temperature calculations. 
  
				The ERA40 reanalysis data, has been applied to calculate daily climate values that are plotted along 
				with the daily analysis values in all plots. The data used to determine climate values is the full ERA40 data set, 
				from 1958 to 2002. 
				More information can be found here.
