Features: This atlas is compiled using sea surface basic ocean meteorological observations provided by global comprehensive oceanic and atmospheric data. The atlas includes: sea surface temperature, sea surface air temperature, sea-air temperature difference, total cloud cover, sea level pressure, air vapor pressure, sea surface zonal and meridional wind, sea surface composite wind speed, sea surface vector wind field, sea surface zonal and meridional momentum flux, sea surface momentum flux vector field, sea surface longwave effective radiation, sea surface sensible heat flux, sea surface latent heat flux, and sea surface net heat balance, among other physical climate maps of the oceanic warm pool.
