THE INTERDIURNAL VARIABILITY OF SURFACE-AIR TEMPERATURE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

Abstract

This paper gives the results of an investigation of the interdiurnal variability of surface-air temperature at 9 of the North Atlantic Ocean Vessel Stations. Computations were performed for each month of the year over a four-year study period. Several aspects of the computational results are discussed in relation to the analogous statistics at land stations.
