Researches on the Variations of Oceanographic Conditions in the Region of the Ocean Weather Station “ Extra ” in the North Pacific Ocean (V)

On plotting the daily means of sea-surface temperature at the Ocean Weather Station “ Extra ” (39°N, 153°E) against time, we find that there are oscillations of the temperature with periods of few ten days. The periods of these temperature oscillations were determined. Among possible causes for these oscillations the meandering of ocean currents may be mentioned as the most probable one.

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.

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.
