Climatological Atlas: 1950-1979 Surface Air Temperature, Precipitation, Sea-level Pressure, and Sea-surface Temperature (45 S-90 N)

Monthly surface air temperatures (TMP), sea-level pressures (SLP), sea surface temperatures (SST) and precipitation (PRC) from two complementary historical data sets are used to derive some statistics of the climate between 45��S and 90��N for the period 1950-79, inclusive. The historical data sets are the Global Monthly Surface Station Data Set, primarily based upon observations from land stations, and the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set, primarily based upon observations from ships of opportunity. The maps included in this atlas are presented for two purposes: (i) to provide useful background fields against which new measurements may be compared and interpreted and (ii) to provide examples of the sampling networks available from the aforementioned historical data sets.
