Description:

This atlas series presents objectively analyzed fields ofsurface marine climatology and anomalies offluxes of heat, momentum, and fresh water along with several other parameters of interest. These fields are derived from individual observations in the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) from January 1945 to December 1989 and are analyzed on a 1-degree by 1-degree global grid. Corrections have been made to reduce wind speed bias associated with an erroneous Beaufort equivalent scale, to quality control night-time fractional cloud cover observations according to the brightness of the sky, and to assign clear weather to certain Present Weather observations recorded as missing. This volume presents, in some detail, the method of analysis and the physical parameterizations adopted.
