ADS Report Number 4.

Abstract

Since 1976, three reports on oceanographic and meteorological conditions in the North Pacific have been produced by the NORPAX Data Program covering the period from June, 1976 through November, 1977. This is the fourth in the series, and covers the period from December, 1977 through May, 1978. This issue contains: contour maps of monthly meaned Fleet Numerical Oceanographic Central (FNOC) air temperature, sea temperature, wind speed, wind direction, surface vapor pressure, and 700 mb height; NORPAX Data Management calculated wind stress, wind stress curl, wind shear velocity cubed, sensible heat flux. Latent heat flux; objectively analyzed TRANSPAC temperatures at discrete depths from White and Bernstein (SIO); monthly ADS buoy drifter displacement vectors from McNally (SIO). (Author)
