TIROS OBSERVATIONS OF THE SUMMER CIRCULATION AND WEATHER PATTERNS OF THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC,

Abstract

The TIROS satellities have obtained considerable photographic data over the conventional-datasparse tropical regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. The data for the summer seasons of 1961 and 1962 are utilized to depict the typical low-level flow patterns. The circulation regime is compared with the meager climatological data available. A schematic synoptic model is shown and discussed in relation to previous models of the intertropical convergence zone. (Author)
