Description:This atlas supplement presents objectively analyzed fields ofsurface marine anomalies of selected observed quantities and fluxes of heat, momentum, and fresh water. These fields are based on the 1945-1989 climatology presented in Volumes 1-5 of this atlas series. Anomaly fields are derived from individual observations in the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) Release la from January 1990 to December 1993 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 supplement presents seasonal plots of observation density and anomalies for the years 1990 through 1993, along with the 1945-89 climatology for each quantity.
