Description
Summary:This project attempts to establish the present knowledge of climatological conditions in three Alaskan marine and near coastal areas that are important to resource development of the outer continental shelf-The Gulf of Alaska (Vol. I), The Bering Sea (Vol. II), and The Chukchi and Beaufort Seas (Vol. III). The maps, graphs, and tables in the atlas present a detailed climatic profile of the marine and coastal regions of Alaska. Statistics detail means, extremes, and percent frequency of occurrence of threshold values for these elements: wind, visibility, present weather, sea level pressure, temperature, clouds, and waves and such supplemental information as storm surges, tides, sea ice, surface currents, bathymetry, detailed weather, and aviation weather. Data came from 600,000 surface marine observations and 2 million observations for 49 coastal land stations and provide the best possible climatological picture of the outer continental shelf waters and coastal regions of Alaska.
