APPENDIX I 



Monthly mean meteorological properties at Ocean Weather Station V (OWS-V) and 

 monthly anomalies (from long-term mean), September 1951 to March 1971. Those values 

 above the solid line pertain to the period when OWS-V was situated at lat. 31°N, long. 

 164°E; those below the line to the location at lat. 34''N, long. 164°E. 



The properties tabulated are as follows: 



Sea-surface temperature 



Air temperature 



Air-sea temperature difference 



Vapor pressure of the air 



Vapor pressure difference between air and at sea surface 



Wind speed 



Square of the wind speed 



North-south component of resultant wind velocity 



East-west component of resultant wind velocity 



Total cloud amount 



Sea-level atmospheric pressure. 



The long-term monthly means and standard deviations of the means listed at the top 

 of each page were computed for the period April 1955 to March 1971 only. The individual 

 monthly mean values are the algebraic sum of the long-term monthly mean and the 

 monthly anomaly. 



The asterisk (*) preceding a monthly anomaly value denotes a correction of the 

 original data or substitution for missing observations.
