Abstract
The pattern of July temperature variability over Canada north of ca. 50 degrees N for the period 1943-1972 has been analyzed by means of the principal component analysis. The objective was to assess the spatial similarities between modern temperature fluctuations at the interannual scale and those derived from paleotemperature records encompassing a period of the last 6000 C-14 years. A comparison of the first four principal components from each data set suggests that contemporary midsummer temperature variations offer a reasonable analog to Holocene fluctuations on the order of a few centuries. The Keewatin-Baffin Island-Ungava Peninsula region appears to be within the area of maximum temperature response.
