Climatic Atlas of Seasonal and Annual Arctic Sea-Level Pressures, Slp Anomalies,and Sea-Ice Concentrations, 1953-1988

摘要

Seasonal and annual maps are presented of sea level pressure (SLP), SLPanomalies, and sea ice concentration (SIC) in the Arctic Ocean and neighboring seas for the years 1953-1988. The data are conventionally divided into four seasons each year, and SLP, SLP anomaly, and SIC data maps are shown together for the same year. Contour intervals are 2 millibars in SLP maps and 1 millibar in SLP anomaly maps. SIC maps are shaded to represent percentages of ice cover expressed in tenths. An overlay is provided to enable sea-ice anomalies for any given season to be seen.
