ResearchPublished 1971
From selected climatological data sources the January global distribution of pressure, temperature, wind, and moisture is reconstructed for the surface, 800 mb, and 400 mb. These data are supplemented by presentations of the global distributions of cloudiness, evaporation, precipitation, and selected elements of the surface heat balance. All data are presented on a global grid of 4-deg latitude by 5-deg longitude and are given in the form of both tabulated values and machine-analyzed maps. 182 pp. Ref.
