U.S. Navy Marine Climatic Atlas of the World CD-ROM Version 1.1 is a product available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Includes analysis and display software for climatological averages of atmospheric and oceanographic data. The data are summarized with user-defined 1 and 5 degree grid areas covering the global marine environment. The summaries are produced using predominately ship data collected between 1854-1969. The major parameters include air and sea temperature, dew point temperature, scalar wind speed, sea-level pressure, wave height, wind and ocean-current roses. This CD-ROM allows the user to define element intervals (e.g. 5 to 10 knots, 2 degree temperature intervals). The CD-ROM also allows contouring for explicitly user-defined regions and climatology narratives are included in this updated version. U.S. Navy sponsored product. |
