This climatic study covers the Barents Sea and adjacent waters between 67 and 80 degs north latitudes and 04 and 56 degs east longitudes. This climatic study of marine environment consists of monthly charts and tables of : (1) clouds; (2) atmospheric precipitation; (3) visibility tables; (4) ceiling- visibility (mid-range/low range); (5) wind-visibility-cloudiness; (6) scalar mean wind speed; (7) wind speed less than 11 and greater or equal to 34 knots; (8) wind speed 11-21 and 22-33 knots; (9) surface wind roses; (10) air and sea temperature, (11) wave height-isopleths, (12) wave height tables, (13) surface currents (seasonal).
