Description:An atlas of the monthly and seasonal mean tropical and subtropical circulation of the upper troposphere for the period October 1978-September 1983 as represented by National Meteorological Center operational objective analyses is presented. These analyses are prepared twice daily as a part of the Global Data Assimilation System using an optimum interpolation technique. While the analyses are global with a resolution of 2.5° of latitude and longitude, Mercator maps with an equatorial resolution of 5° are given here. The 200 mb level is chosen to maximize the impact of satellite and aircraft wind observations on the analyses. Both the rotational and the divergent components of the wind field are presented.
