Description
Summary:This atlas contains oceanographic, meteorologic, and air-sea interface information. The information is a composite of traditional climatological and oceanographic data interspersed with non-traditional empirical information useful to Coast Guard operations. Some unique subjects are discussed such as ship operations in first year ice and flying conditions over water. The atlas is also unique in that subjects are discussed both briefly (first portion of atlas) and extensively (second portion) to accommodate readers with different levels of interest. Contents--Physical Geography; Factors Affecting Oil Spill Transport; Factors Affecting Oil Spill Containment or Mitigation Efforts; Oceanography; Climatology and Meteorology; Sea Ice; Ship and Equipment Operations in First Year Ice; Appendices: Sunrise/Sunset Tables, Storm Surge Forecast Procedures; Glossary of Ice Terms.
