Polar capsule - Polar capsules are structures found in the valves of Myxosporean parasites, which contain the polar filament.
The polar capsule is constructed of a proteinaceous and a polysaccharide layer, both layers of which continue into the polar filament.
Polar easterlies - The polar easterlies are the prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards the low-pressure areas of the polar fronts at around 60 degrees latitude (north and south).

 USCGC Polar Sea return to Seattle after 5 1/2 month Operation Deep Freeze
POLAR SEA is scheduled to arrive at the U.S. Coast Guard Base, located at Pier 36, at 12 noon.
Polar Sea faced demanding ice conditions this year due primarily to the presence of two icebergs: B-15 and C-19, each approximately 100 miles by 20 miles.
POLAR SEA arrived on-scene; sent a team of engineers to assist; reprovisioned the TE TAOBE with food and water; conducted minor surgery on the young girl and transported her back to the POLAR SEA.

 SMMR & SSM/I Sea Ice Concentration
Sea ice forms through the freezing of sea water over large areas of the polar oceans in both hemispheres and covers as much as 30,000,000 km^2 of the Earth's surface.
Sea Ice exists in regions that are dark for several months of the year and very frequently cloudy in the remaining months.
The polar stereographic projection often assumes that the plane (i.e., the grid) is tangent to the Earth at the pole.

 Polar icebreaking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
USCGC POLAR STAR (WAGB-10) was commissioned in 1976 in Seattle, Washington.
Her normal propulsion was provided by diesel generators furnishing power to a 6,000-horsepower motor on each of three shafts; the gas turbines were for use in heavy ice.
POLAR STAR was joined in 1977 by a sister ship, USCGC POLAR SEA (WAGB-11), which became the first U.S. surface vessel to reach the North Pole in 1994.

USCGC HEALY, the youngest of the icebreakers, has successfully completed four field seasons in the Arctic Ocean and one deployment to Antarctica since the ship was delivered in late 1999.
Nordic Sea winter-produced intermediate waters exhibit no companion temporal decrease in presence: in 2002 there were typically slightly greater thicknesses of key intermediate layers, with about the same (high) average dissolved oxygen concentrations, as in the 1980s data, albeit in 2002 with slightly higher average salinities.
