Figure 6.2 Sea level pressure (hPa) 1 June to 31 August 2013. Persistent low atmospheric surface pressure between Arctic Canada and Greenland brought cold air to the region, suppressing melting. The same circulation regime also favored the delivery of relatively warm and moist air to Svalbard, driving its melt rates to twice that of the previous four decades (Jason Box and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis).
