Guide to the Applications of Marine Climatology
Complementary to the Guide to Climatological Practices (WMO-No. 100), this guide provides both a source text and reference book for techniques already in standard use in the processing of marine climatological data, which are primarily meteorological and oceanographic observations made by ships in the WMO Voluntary Observing Ships scheme. The guide also describes in detail the diverse applications of such data in the service of the marine user community.
