Description:This atlas presents objectively analyzed fields of surface marine anomalies of sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, sea level pressure, surface winds, and fractional cloud cover over most of the global ocean. These revised monthly mean 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, and to quality control night-time fractional cloud cover observations according to the brightness of the sky. In addition to seasonal anomalies, maps ofseasonal climatology, standard deviations, and the number of observations are presented for each quantity.
