Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean west of Canada's Mackenzie River delta, an unusually warm air mass sits under extremely low pressure with a steep gradient. The dramatic pressure gradient of 75.56 hPa/cell creates a dense grid of intersecting black lines, while the moderate wind from the west-southwest pushes the composition's weight toward the right side. The surprisingly warm 8.2°C temperature, running 9.2°C above normal for this polar region, brings red as the dominant primary color, balanced by strategic placements of blue and yellow in this rigorously geometric interpretation.
