Artificial northern lights (or the art of lighting the nordic environment)

摘要

Geographically, Nordicity is a phenomenon that occurs around the globe, covering regions in Asia, Europe and North America. The notion of 'Nordicity' refers to all elements affecting living conditions within the 'frigid zone' of the Northern Hemisphere. The central element is low temperature, which combines with other factors, such as extreme seasonal changes. A proposed indicator comprising several factors establishes the limit of this zone at between 50° and 70° in northern latitudes This strict designation makes most of the cities in the UK Nordic by location - however, meteorogically, this is offset to a considerable extent by the warming effect of the 'Gulf Stream'.
