Tropical Marine Climatic Atlas, by Sadler

This atlas containing monthly climatologies was prepared by J. Sadler and is archived at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). This atlas and associated tape at NCAR gives long-period means of wind direction and speed, wind stress, sea level pressure, and sea surface temperature for each month. It is an analysis made from the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) ship statistics for each 2 degree latitude/longitude grid square for the 80-year period, 1900-1979. The maps are usually for 30 S - 40 N.
