U.S. Navy Regional Climatic Study of the Central East Asian Coast and Associated Waters

Abstract

This climatic study of marine environment consists of monthly charts and tables of: (1) clouds; (2) atmospheric 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) ocean surface currents (seasonal). This marine study covers the region off the Pacific Ocean coast of Asia from the equator to 45 N and from 105 E and 140 E, encompassing the South China Sea, Philippine Sea, East CHena Sea, Yellow Sea, and the southern portion of the Sea of Japan.
