U.S. Navy Regional Climatic Study of the United States Atlantic Coast and Associated Waters

Abstract

This climatic study consists of monthly charts and tables of: 1) clouds, 2) precipitation, 3) visibility tables, 4) ceiling visibility (mid- range/low range), 5) wind visibility cloudiness, 6) scalar mean wind speed, 7) wind speed less than 11 and greater or equal to 34 knots, 8) wind speed 11-21 and 22-33 knots, 9) surface wind roses, 10) air and sea temperature, 11) wave height isopleths, 12) wave height tables, 13) surface currents (seasonal). Keywords: North Atlantic Ocean; Coastal regions; Marine climatology; Cumulative percentage frequency distributions; Surface winds; Visibility; Cloudiness; Atmospheric precipitation; Surface air temperature; Surface pressure; Relative humidity; Persistance; Inversion; Tropopause; Refractive index gradient; Wind direction; Atmospheric temperature; Ocean waves; Ocean surface currents; Meteorological/Oceanographic data.
