This technical note contains sea-surface isotherm charts divided into geographical sections for the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans as well as North American Lakes and Hudson Bay. Each section is further divided into 12 monthly sets of charts, each set containing a maximum, mean, and minimum temperature chart (except for the Canadian lakes and Hudson Bay section, which only has a mean value). Also included is a table on approximate survival times of humans immersed in the sea with ordinary clothes. Supersedes Rept. no. 5WW-TN-79-001, May 79, AD-A070162.
