Eastern North Pacific Seasonal Sea Surface Temperature Departures, 1931-1977

摘要

Eastern North Pacific seasonal sea surface temperature departures are presented in this atlas. All available ship reports were processed for the period 1900 to present. Poor data coverage prior to 1931 precluded the construction of reliable maps for the early 1900's. Consequently, this atlas only includes anomaly charts for the period 1931 to 1977. The departures are based on a 23-year mean from 1949 to 1971. The areal coverage of this atlas is restricted to the zone from 20 degrees N to 40 degrees N.
