Publication 
Climatic Atlas of the Outer Continental Shelf Waters 
and Coastal Regions of Alaska 
Publication Date: 1977 
Location: Gulf of Alaska (Volume I) 
Bering Sea (Volume I1) 
Chukchi and Beaufort Seas (Volume III) 
Contents: This publication is the result of a joint effort by AEIDC and the 
National Climatic Data Center/National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration to 
present descriptive climatology and data analysis of surface marine and 
atmospheric parameters for those waters and coastal regions of the Alaskan 
Outer Continental Shelf. The study was funded by the US Department of the 
Interior's Bureau of Land Management. 
The first section, "Selected Topics in Marine and Coastal Climatology," 
in each of three volumes contains information on storm surges, superstructure 
icing, hyperthermia, wind chill, surface currents, bathymetry, sea ice, and 
aviation weather. The second section, "Marine and Coastal Climatic Atlas," 
presents a detailed climatic profile in the form of isopleth analyses, graphs, 
and tables. The following list shows the parameters included in each of the 
23 data sets; monthly information is presented for the first 21 sets.
