The present investigation is based upon the data observed at the Ocean Weather Stations " Extra " (39°N, 153°E) and " Tango " (29°N, 135°E) from March 1948 to November 1953. Notable features of the annual variations of the air and the sea-surface temperatures and the wind are described, the comparison being made between the two stations. Some relationships between those elements are examined. It is found that a very high correlation exists between the air and the sea-surface temperature anomalies during the warm season (from May to October) and, on the other hand, that during the cold season (from November to April) the air temperature anomaly is more closely associated with the anomaly of the NS component of wind rather than with the sea-surface temperature. 1956Researches on the Variations of Oceanogaphic Conditions263
The swelling in the forenoon appearing in the diurnal variation curve of air temperature at Ocean Weather Stations " Extra " (39°N, 153°E) and " Tango " (29°N, 135°E), described in detail in the fourth of the author's present series of studies [1], may pretty well be explained by considering an adiabatic change due to the diurnal variation of atmospheric pressure.
The data used are of air and sea-surface temperatures observed every three hours at the Ocean Weather Stations " Extra " (39°N, 153°E) and " Tango " (29°N, 135°E) . Average diurnal variations of air and sea-surface temperatures are examined for every month of the year.It is noticed that the diurnal variation of air tempeature at both stations presents a characteristic curve with a swelling in the forenoon.Seasonal changes are examined of characteristic parameters of diurnal variations, e.g. the range, the time of occurrence of extreme values, the time of occurrence of the values equal to the diurnal mean, etc. Diurnal variation of the temperature difference between the air and the sea surface is shown at the end.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
