Climatology of Surface Infrared Extinction Coefficients in the North Atlantic Ocean Region

Abstract

A climatology of extinction coefficients for the 3-5 and 8-12 micrometer bands is presented for the North Atlantic Ocean region. Isopleths of mean extinction coefficients are provided for each month. Contours of the standard deviation of the extinction coefficients are given for the months of January and July. The magnitude of the standard deviation frequently exceeds the mean value, and indicates the extreme variability of infrared extinction in this region.
