DIURNAL VARIATION OF SURFACE PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

Data from the Ocean Vessel Stations have been used to determine for each month (1) the daily variations of mean surface pressure, (2) the 3-hour mean-pressure tendencies, and (3) the phaaes and amplitudes of the first three harmonics of the daily variations. Some implications of the results are disc...

Description
Summary:Data from the Ocean Vessel Stations have been used to determine for each month (1) the daily variations of mean surface pressure, (2) the 3-hour mean-pressure tendencies, and (3) the phaaes and amplitudes of the first three harmonics of the daily variations. Some implications of the results are discussed briefly. 1.
