arctic_weather analyzes meteorological data recorded from High Arctic weatherstations (called Inuksuit) deployed on coastal mountains north of 80 degrees on Ellesmere Island Canada from 2006 through 2009, along with clear-sky fractions from horizon-viewing sky-monitoring cameras. The code calculates solar and lunar elevations, and so allows correlation of polar nighttime to the development of prevailing thermal inversion conditions in winter, and statistical comparison to other optical/infrared observatory sites.
