Book Description

Excerpt from Sea Surface Temperature Monthly Average and Anomaly Charts, Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, 1947-58 Deviation of the position of a ship with respect to the normal shipping lane could cause a considerable bias in the averages and anomalies. Depending on ships' positions within a 2-degree square, reported injection tempera tures might vary as much as 10° F. Ina 2-degree square represented by a minimum of two observations, this type of bias becomes increasingly significant. Because of the limited number of observa tions available for the region south of the Equator and the attendant possible bias de scribed above, it is recommended that the temperatures and anomalies shown for that area be compared with data presented by other authors.
