APPENDIX ffl 



Monthly Mean Surface Atmospheric Properties 



The following tables list the long-term monthly mean surface atmospheric properties approximately corresponding to the distributions of 

 monthly mean heat exchange components displayed in Appendix I. Each page contains values for 10 1° squares. Within each group of 10, all 

 1 ° squares are defined by a common latitude. The first set of values corresponds to the 1 ° square adjacent to the coast. The final tabulations 

 refer to the 1 ° square farthest from the coast. 



Monthly mean properties are tabulated for windspeed (SPD, m/s), surface air temperature (AIR, °C), sea surface temperature (SEA, °C), 

 vapor pressure of the air (VPA, mbar), saturation vapor pressure at the sea surface temperature (VPS, mbar), and total cloud amount (CLD, 

 % ) . These estimates of monthly mean surface properties were used to calculate the heat exchange components, Q lV (M) , for comparisons with 

 the heat exchange values computed from individual reports. Q N (I), shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7, and in Table 1 .
