Arctic 60n 140e

Creative Rationale

This composition depicts the atmospheric conditions over the remote Arctic Ocean north of the Chukchi Sea, between Siberia and Alaska. The extremely high pressure gradient of 50.65 Pa/cell creates a dense network of bold black lines fragmenting the canvas into numerous small rectangular cells, while the frigid -6.6K temperature establishes blue as the dominant primary color throughout the composition. The moderate 7.9 m/s wind from the southeast creates a strong asymmetric pull toward the lower right quadrant, and the 92% humidity translates into thick, substantial black dividing lines that boldly separate each color field.
