Climate Atlas of the Atlantic Ocean : Derived from the Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) /
The growing interest in climate and climatic change has renewed the demand for climate descriptions of the world oceans. Fields of climate variables are used as boundary conditions, or sea truth, for atmospheric and oceanic models and coupled models of the atmosphere-ocean system. The rapid improvem...
