Synopsis

The Arctic and Subarctic may be defined in several different ways, depending on whether they are looked at from the point of view of astronomy, botany, physics, climatology, ocean navigation or other specialized field. For engineering, the Arctic and Subarctic are best defined on basis of the prevailing air temperature conditions. This publication shows the limits of the Arctic and Subarctic in accordance with these definitions, together with the northern limit of trees.
