Surface Energy Budget of the Tropical Pacific Ocean.

Bryan C. Weare, Michael D. Samuel

Abstract

The four components of the net surface heating of the tropical pacific Ocean between 40 deg s and 30 deg n have been calculated for each month between January 1957 and December 1976. The 20-year monthly mean of each component were also calculated. These flux estimates were derived by using 'bulk formulae' and about five million marine weather reports. The components are averaged over 5 deg latitude by 5 deg longitude grids. Grids which did not have data in a given month were assigned interpolated values. (Author)
