Parameters such as monthly values of wind speed and wave heights are presented as contour fields in global and regional charts. Variations in wind and wave parameters are also shown along common shipping routes and lines of latitude and longitude. The Atlas includes a useful reference text providing an introduction to global meteorology and the processes responsible for the generation of ocean waves. In addition information relating to the GEOSAT mission data preparation and validation and wind/wave statistics provide a full summary of the background to this major new publication. Global estimates of wind and wave conditions are required for activities such as engineering design oceanographic and meteorological studies ship routing and recreational activities. This publication will appeal to a wide range of readers from scientists and engineers educators and students to readers in shipping companies and navies.". First Edition. Pictorial Boards.
