Arctic 60n 70w

Creative Rationale

Over the icy waters of Baffin Bay between Greenland and Arctic Canada, the atmosphere holds an unusual warmth against the frozen seascape below. The significant positive temperature anomaly of 30.8K above the zonal mean creates a striking contrast that I've interpreted through warm underlying layers of deep reds and oranges being revealed beneath cooler grey and blue surface drags. The gentle southwest wind at 1.7 m/s guides diagonal squeegee strokes from lower-left toward upper-right, while the moderate pressure gradient creates multiple revealed layers of complex color interactions typical of Richter's technique.
