Using the same basic methods as my Greenland Sea reconstruction, I put together a reconstruction for the Canadian Arctic…

From Baffin Bay, west to the Yukon Territory, I found 12 GISS/GHCN stations with long, relatively continuous, record lengths with data through 2011…

The most significant features are:
- A strong warming trend from 1992-2010.
- A general lack of data from 1910-1945, resulting in a very noisy early 20th century signal.
- No data at all from 1911-1921.
