Climatological perspectives, oceanographic and meteorological, on variability in the subtropical convergence zone in the northwestern Atlantic

We discuss the large-scale setting for the Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX). A climatology of the west-central North Atlantic, derived from various data sets, is presented, and the meteorological and oceanographic context for FASINEX is thereby established. While the atmospheric and...
