Abstract
SINCE the withdrawal of the British Forces from Archangel and Murmansk, the climate of Northwest Russia has become a matter of less interest to the average Englishman than was the case six months ago, but to the meteorologist the district remains one of importance. The climatic ftatures of the area in winter must be considered in relation to its intermediate position between the relatively warm waters of the Arctic Ocean and the intense cold of Central Asia. The effect of these two influences is seen in the approximate equality of temperature in January at Alexandrovsk, near the mouth of the Kola River,in the north, and Petrograd in the south, notwithstanding a difference of nearly 10° in latitude between the two stations.
