NORPAX ADS Report Number 1.

Abstract

During the ADS meeting of March 16, 1977 it was decided to produce a NORPAX ADS program data report for trimonthly periods roughly corresponding to seasons. This is the first issue of that data report, and contains contour maps of monthly meaned: FNWC air temperature, sea temperature, wind speed, wind direction, surface vapor pressure, and 700 mb heights; NORPAX calculated wind stress, wind stress curl, wind shear velocity cubed (U-cubed), sensible heat flux, latent heat flux; objectively analyzed TRANSPAC temperatures at discrete depths from White and Bernstein (SIO). This report also contains monthly drifter buoy displacement vectors from Kirwan (TAMU) and McNally (SIO).
