APPENDIX B.— MONTHLY MEAN OCEANIC 

 AND ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS 



This appendix presents graphical plots of monthly means and monthly mean anomalies of various oceanic and atmospheric observations for the 

 period 1960 to 1978 at Monterey, Calif. Anomalies were calculated as the difference between a monthly mean and the long term mean (1963-78) 

 for the same month. Monthly means are shown as heavy lines and monthly anomalies as light lines. The data are presented in the following 

 sequence: 



1) sea level (cm). 



2) adjusted sea level (cm), 



3) surface atmospheric pressure (mb), 



4) meridional wind stress (dynes/cm : ; positive northward), 



5) zonal wind stress (dynes/cm 2 ; positive eastward), 



6) offshore/onshore Ekman transport (t/s per 100 m of coastline; positive offshore), 



7) Sverdrup transport (t/s per km; positive northward), 



8) surface salinity (parts per thousand), 



9) sea surface temperature (°C), and 

 10) dynamic height (cm).
