U.S. Navy Regional Climatic Study of the Mozambique Channel and Adjacent Waters

Abstract

This study is centered on the Mozambique Channel between Mozambique in southeast Africa and the island of Madagascar. The study limits extend from 5 deg S to 35 deg S and 31 deg E to 55 deg E, thus allowing a small overlap between this study and the one for the Southern African Waters. Most emphasis was placed on the marine areas, with only a few coastal station summaries included in the text and final section of this publication. Keywords: Marine climatology; Madagascar; Channels water ways; Meteorological data; Oceanographic data; Seasonal variations.
