Climate of Yukon / H.E. Wahl, D.B. Fraser, R.C. Harvey, J.B. Maxwell. : En57-7/40E-PDF
"This study presents a broad overview of Yukon climate, which is classified as sub-arctic continental. Climatic regions are defined although data are too sparse from the high country to allow rigorous specification of regional differences. Traditional climatological analyses are presented for elements of temperature, wind, precipitation, humidity, cloud, thunderstorms, visibility and obstructions to vision. Normal circulation patterns are depicted and four common synoptic-weather patterns are defined. Analysis includes probability estimates of extremes and duration statistics for maximum and minimum temperatures, daily precipitation and wind speed. The subjects of air pollution potential, wind energy and climatic change are discussed in summary rather than in depth--Abstract.
