The Tundra Climate - Secrets of World Climate #11

[@CeriseGrist]

Lived in the tundra of north west Alaska for 7 years. Moved away 2 years ago. I watched your video to make my hear TV happy to see my tundra world again. It's hard to live there but it never leaves you.

[@Geodiode]

Amazing to hear. Whereabouts were you? Near Nome?

[@luciankristov6436]

I thrive in harsh cold climates. I hate people because they all think their opinions are the answers to everything and not Willing to expand on the others point of view. I just want to be in place where nobody lives and live my life at peace . Ive always loved cold temps .30 to 60 degrees is my kinda weather. Below 30 and things get interesting and challenging. I love it

[@arcturus9366]

I believe there is a climate for everybody, I enjoy a cfb climate myself. I like cool weather without large fluctuations in temperature.

[@blueflare726]

Wow, I'm just opposite. I like when temperature is 40+ celsius

[@jackscinema1706]

I can easily deal 50 to 90 (without humidity) 80 with humidity, but I prefer Csa/Csb of Southern California. I enjoy many climates however! The one thing I need in my climate is many sunny days for outdoor activities, and a winter warmer then the subarctic and I’m happy as long as it’s sunny☀️!!!

@@arcturus9366 Hello What do you think about tundra ( ET) and DFD and DFC climates?

[@littleshell406]

I used to live in Barrow Alaska, now known as Utqiagvik, it's original inupiat name. A good place to have lived but too cold to ever live again. I did get to experience the midnight sun, eating whale and Caribou, watching the ocean freeze and the northern lights. Almost everyone owned a four wheeler or snowmobile and that was great fun. Wouldn't want to live there again but great memories as a kid.

[@littleshell406]

@@Geodiode I did see that video. I believe real life lore and another channel did a video on Barrow too. It is a very difficult place to live in modern times. The inupiat people who lived there before central heating and electricity are absolutely amazing for their ability to survive there.

Had the chance to visit Punta Arenas and Tierra del Fuego in summer before COVID was a thing here in Chile. It truly felt like I was at the very end of the world, and the climate is drastically different to that of Santiago, where I am from. While Santiago had scorching 33°C (around 90°F), in Punta Arenas was raining with 11°C (50°F). A truly wonderful experience.

[@3dplayer3]

I also gone there in 2019 in summer I live in India in Jaipur temp is 45°cand in punta arenas it is 12°c it is a very large difference

[@themetalmastah666]

[@st3llarmemer111]

I find it quite interesting how the limits for each climate zone makes it so a city like Punta Arenas can be considered borderline tundra. Really nice series btw, no other channel covers climate zones like this one.

[@richardtorres2676]

@@Geodiode It's really hard to classify the cities into specific climate due to the complexity of factors, but we have to know that Köppen classification have its limits between a climate and another. For me was a Surprise discover that Seattle as a Csb climate, but listening the full explanation of each climate is really enlightening of why those cities are lying in it. The same for New York and Houston, that both cities have the same Köppen classification Cfa, despite New York have colder winters. Anxiously waiting for the Ice Cap Episode... thanks once again for bring us such beautiful and enjoyable work!

The Tundra is really cool! (Literally!) If I ever get enough money/time when I'm older, I want to go to Nunavut and camp/hike. I'm glad I can see the beauty of this biome through the internet, but I want to go there and experience it. The only problem is it's a bit cold. But it's warmer in the summer, so if I time it properly that wouldn't be a concern.

[@Shaheen_Hassan]

The tundra climates present in New Guinea highlands, the southern tip of South America and some oceanic islands, have very mild winters with no permafrost. By Koppen definition, these areas have tundra climate ET but they support forests, sometimes dense. All these areas have high annual precipitation, especially New Guinea highlands where precipitation is above 3000 mm and can exceed 5000 mm. New Guinea highlands have the mildest tundra climate which is covered in dense tropical alpine forest, with summer temperatures of 9°C and winter temperatures of 7°C or in cooler areas 8°C in summer and 6°C in winter and this is the limit of tree and forest growth, in higher areas where summer temperatures are lower than 8°C and winter temperatures lower than 6°C trees cannot grow and you get a true alpine tundra. These areas have very beautiful scenery, but because of its isolation and the problems in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, there is extremely little to no photography.

[@Shaheen_Hassan]

@@Geodiode Unfortunately, it seems that I lost all the sources when I changed my phone. Also, winter temperatures play a role in Otto Nordenskjöld formula of W = 9 - 0.1C where w is the temperature of the warmest month and C is the temperature of the coldest month. In some borderline tundra climates, like the one I mentioned in my comment and the one you mentioned in your video in the southern ocean, winters are so mild that it can support some tree growth though the summers are still cold.

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

Interior of elles mere island averages -46c for 3 months, from data of meteoblue. Also even though tundra doesn't have extreme ambient temps, they do have extreme winds the climate is even harsher also adding the ocean bringing colder "feels like" temps. For example Kugaaruk got -92c. That's much colder than anywhere in Siberia. Also another great video. But I think you could have added a bit more graphs or data for temps and precipitation for other places in this climate.

[@Abcd54321]

I have been to Fairbanks and other parts of Alaska, Iceland, and even close the Antarctic Peninsula (cruise). All were during the summer. What was it like? Pretty much like autumn/early spring where I live (Netherlands) for the first two. The weather near the peninsula was more like winter over here even though it was summer over there...

[@PeterSwinkels]

@@Geodiode yeah British autumn sounds about right. It seems the climate over here is slowly shifting from cfb to cwb/cfa due to global warming. But I leave the judgement on this to actual climate experts. 😊

[@tharushirashmika4107]

Thank you for sharing all these amazing information. It helps me a lot with my Biology lesson.

[@Moneytane1976]

I would also add Campbell Island, New Zealand which has a summer high of 12c, avg of 9c and winter avg of 4c. Snow is rare, but it rains every day and there are only 2 or 3 stunted pine trees near a weather station planted years ago. Also Macquarie Island in Australia. And Kerguelen. But not Auckland Island as its summer average is 10 - 12c and has lowland Rata forest to 300m giving it a CFC climate. Wellington New Zealand also has an extremely cold summer, where its always 16c and raining.

[@martinperez6481]

This is helpful for my tundra project. Thanks

[@leafenzo]

@@Geodiode My best guess is that it's a unique subject. If you search youtube for "tundra" the top video is a car commercial. Meaning that people like me with some crazy niche reason to find videos about tundras are directed here. In fact, it's crazy just how little attention tundras get honestly, for an entire piece of the world. They have a strange beauty to them, without a big pile of trees on top of it and just how smushed up the landscape is by glaciers, the ground just becomes so interesting in its own right. I digress, Good luck on your channel! I was shocked to see how little attention you've gotten given the quality of your videos.

[@alaskanbullworm5500]

A quick question, why aren’t the parts of the world(far north/far south) also considered a BSk or BWk since they are also dry? Does the average temperature of the warmest month have to be at least 10 degrees Celsius to qualify for the B categories regardless of how dry it is?

[@alaskanbullworm5500]

GeoDiode I figured, ET has a 10 degree Celsius for the warmest month or summer, otherwise it would be a C or D climate depending on the winter temperature. The same threshold likely applies for B climates, otherwise the entire Tibetan plateau would be BWk

Here I want to say something, you put punta arenas as an example of tundra climate in south america, saying that it is not so cold, and yes, that is because punta arenas does not have a tundra climate, punta arenas even has trees and the temperatures in summer can reach 23 degrees Celsius, punta arenas also has trees. So if you want to see the real example of tundra climate in south america you have to go further south, from the southwest of tierra del fuego island and the rest of the islands of southwest patagonia. here you can't find trees and it can snow during the winter and summer is really cold and windy all year round. it's hard to explain where i mean without a map, but yeah. In Punta Arenas it's not that cold, but in the tundra area it is, nobody lives there tho. I went to these tundra islands on a ship once (I live in Puerto Natales, subpolar oceanic climate), it was summer, and it was so cold that even with my jacket on I couldn't go outside for a long time. I can't imagine how cold it can get in the winter, that's why there are no boats going there in the colder winter months. and although there is no permafrost here at sea level, at 100 metres or less there is a lot of ice that has been there for decades.

Why does southern Argentina have a polar climate and a tundra climate when the latitude of southern Argentina (from the province of Santa Cruz to the province of Tiera del Fuego) is measured for its latitude, it will show the number 50 ° S, which means that the latitude of southern Argentina is the same as the latitude in the United Kingdom which has the same latitude of 50 ° N and every country that is in this 50 ° latitude region does not have a polar climate or a tundra climate but strangely why Argentina has that climate please answer 🙏

[@Geodiode]

It's the same reason that the UK is cooler than Moscow, which is more or less at the same latitute - ocean moderation. But in the case of the tip of Argentina and Chile, the ocean is much colder, due to the lack of warm ocean currents reaching that area. And so any land near this cold ocean never gets very warm. Trees cannot grow if the summer temperature doesn't exceed 10 degrees, and so in these areas we get Tundra.
