Towards the end of the 19th century some researchers put forward the hypothesis that the Polar regions may play the key role in the shaping of the global climate. This supposition found its full confirmation in empirical and model research conducted in the 20th century, particularly in recent decades. The intensification of the global wanning after about 1975 brought into focus the physical causes of this phenomenon. The first climatic models created at that titrte, and the analyses of long observation series consistently showed that the Polar regions are the most sensitive to climatic changes.Acknowledgements.Atmospheric Circulation.
