COMPARISON OF ANALYZED SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES WITH OBSERVED DATA (JAN.-FEB. 1966).
Six hundred and sixty-six sea surface temperature (SST) measurements acquired aboard the USNS JAMES M. GILLISS (T-AGOR-4) during January - February 1966 were compared to values interpolated from synoptic SST analyses prepared by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) and the Fleet Numerical Weat...
