Abstract

Abstract Regression coefficients have been computed from monthly. seasonal and annual means of eleven meteorological variables and eight energy fluxes by 10° areas over the North and South Atlantic Oceans from January IMS through December 1972. Many linear trends of annual means have been plotted on charts and studied for spatial and flux-variable, relationships. Pressure tendencies showed that pressures, increased under the eastern part of the subtropical high-pressure nets in both hemispheres and decreased east of the mean trough extending southwestward from the Icelandic low-pressure center. Net effects of these trends were to increase the strengths of the westerlies and easterlies in both hemispheres. Meridional winds evolved in such a manner that warm air transport to Greenland increased. Equatoward wind components increased over the eastern tropical Atlantic. Charts presenting trends in air temperature, humidity, clouds, rain and surface fluxes show the relations between these variables, surface flu...
