The last study to discuss the climate of the Arctic in any depth was published in 1970 (Climates a/the Polar Regions, vol. 14, ed. S. Orvig) by the World Survey of Climatology, edited by H. E. Landsberg.
The NAM was mostly slightly negative from 1950–1990 and then mostly positive until 2008. ... At latitude 50° S cooling in autumn is rapid compared with the warming in spring (September), the opposite being the case at latitude 65° S.
The physical climate forms the main part of the book, but it also considers social and economic aspects of the global climate system.
What was going on? Brave New Arctic is Mark Serreze's riveting firsthand account of how scientists from around the globe came together to find answers.
