Winter 1940/41 a climatic research delight

Bad boys in navy blue and climate experts without a clou?
The scientific thrilling highlight of the 2nd
war winter for making progress in earth science had
been the exceptional cold winter conditions in
Southern Norway and the whole
Skagerrak
area. This rather small area even if only viewed in
context with northern Europe got a record cold spell
in January 1940, in a generally extreme cold winter
(D/J/F), which was much colder than the long-term
average, but slightly less cold than the 1st
and the 3rd war winter of WWII. But that
did not apply to the
Skagerrak
area that faced record conditions as of today. But
even if one is reluctant to view every record in depth,
it seems too ignorant and unscientific ignoring the
fact that only a few months earlier the entire German
Kriegsmarine sailed to the Norwegian shores to ambush
and occupy the country, with all available means, by
land, in the air and at sea. From April to June 1940
the Norwegians defended their country with shore
batteries, sea mines, and surface vessels.
Britain
and other nations contributed to their defence. During
the remaining months until the record cold January
1940, German and Allied naval forces met in numerous
encounters along the entire Norwegian coast up to the
Barents Sea
. Amazingly, the matter has drawn little, if any
attention from the scientific community.
