Book Description
These charts, based on ship injection temperature data, show the monthly mean, minimum, and maximum sea surface temperatures for the Pacific Ocean. The data are numerous in all but the equatorial portion of the area, and during the winter in the Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk. The minimum and maximum sea surface charts show temperature variations which are sometimes masked by the averaging of the temperatures on the mean charts. This is most evident in the large current systems such as the North Pacific gyral. For example, the maximum charts show that temperatures south of Japan sometimes exceed 90F. and indicate a need for further study on what effect this would have on the Kuroshio. Upwelling along the coast of the continents is also evident from the charts. The cold waters indicative of such action are graphically displayed along the Aleutian Island chain and the coasts of California and South America. Because of the large quantity of data involved, these charts, in general, are more definitive than charts of other parameters such as salinity, except where the analysis was based on fewer than 10 observations per one-degree guadrangle or in regions where averaging disguises more complex thermal structure.

Book Description
The charts, based on ship injection temperature data, show the monthly mean, minimum, and maximum sea surface temperatures for the Pacific Ocean from 20 degrees S. (except east of 170 degrees W. where temperatures begin at 10 degrees S.) to 66 degrees N. The data are numerous in all but the equatorial portion of the area, and during the winter in the Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk. Upwelling along the coast of the continents is also evident from the charts. The cold waters indicative of such action are graphically displayed along the coasts of California and South America. Because of the large quantity of data involved, these charts, in general, are more definitive than charts of other parameters such as salinity, except where the analysis was based on fewer than 10 observations per 10 degrees quadrangle or in regions where averaging disguises more complex thermal structure.

Book Description
Sea temperature data in the area bounded by the west coast of North America and longitude 150 degrees W. and latitude 20 degrees N. to 54 degrees N. and temperature data at four coastal stations along the west coast of North America are presented in two parts. Part I consists of 12 monthly average charts based on data from 1947 to 1958, and Part II consists of 144 monthly anomaly charts derived from the average charts.

Book Description
The interim Atlas of the North Pacific and Adjacent Seas presents monthly charts of temperature for the sea surface and, for the first time, the subsurface levels at 100 ft. increments to 400 ft. The atlas is based, primarily, on bathythermography (BT) data collected at Scripps Institution of Oceanography during the past 29 years from U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships, and ships of scientific institutions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sea Surface Temperature Monthly Average and Anomaly Charts, Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, 1947-58 Deviation of the position of a ship with respect to the normal shipping lane could cause a considerable bias in the averages and anomalies. Depending on ships' positions within a 2-degree square, reported injection tempera tures might vary as much as 10° F. Ina 2-degree square represented by a minimum of two observations, this type of bias becomes increasingly significant. Because of the limited number of observa tions available for the region south of the Equator and the attendant possible bias de scribed above, it is recommended that the temperatures and anomalies shown for that area be compared with data presented by other authors.
