Description
Summary:The eight-volume series of the U.S. Navy Marine Climatic Atlas of the World has had wide acceptance as an authoritative reference for large scale operational planning and applied research. This volume, based on a little over 120 years of data (1854-1976), is an update of Volume IV (U.S. Navy Marine Climatic Atlas of the World, 1958), and is designed to fulfill the same requirements. This volume is not, however, a one-for-one revision. Some of the data presentations have been changed and wave statistics have been added. No upper air charts are presented since in recent years several comprehensive volumes of upper air data have been published separately. The descriptive explanations which follow give details concerning the quality control and processing of the observations and the development of the charts and graphs. Limitations imposed by the quality of the data and the methods adapted to help overcome them are also discussed. This Atlas is the result of a concerted and extensive effort by many people (aided by modern data processing equipment) to present a detailed and useful ocean climatology. Supersedes Rept. no. NAVAER-50-1C-531 dated 1958, AD-210 512. See also Volume 1, AD-A021 933. Original contains color plates: All DDC and NTIS reproductions will be in black and white.
