Abstract
1. 1.|Oil caused a substantial decrease in the insulative value of polar bear ( Ursus maritimus) pelts measured in vitro. 2. 2.|Following oil contamination the calm air heat transfer coefficient increased by a factor of 2 to 5: the wind coefficient averaged 290% greater and the solar utilization increased by 55%. 3. 3.|Conductance through oil-covered furs remained high at winter temperatures ( T a = 0.6° C) but decreased with time at summer temperatures ( T a = 24.7° C). 4. 4.|The most viscous of the three oils tested had a more consistently negative effect on insulation.
