TL;DR: In this article, estimates of evaporation (E) over the North Atlantic Ocean by Bunker have been combined with estimates of precipitation (P) by Dorman and Bourke to produce new annual and seasonal maps of E-P and surface density flux.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the three-dimensional structure of the marine boundary layer over the continental shelf off northern California during the 1981 and 1982 upwelling seasons and found that after the atmospheric spring transition, the airflow in the marine layer is dominated by the North Pacific high, and the surface wind field over the shelf is characterized by strong (7-15 m/s), up-welling-favorable along-shelf winds lasting for up to 30 days, interrupted by shorter periods of much weaker winds directed either equatorward or poleward.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the temporal and spatial structure of the lower atmosphere, and their relation to the strong upwelling of coastal waters in a region extending up to 40 km offshore and 100 km along the coast.

TL;DR: In this paper, a winter oceanographic field experiment provided an opportunity to examine the atmospheric marine conditions over the northern Adriatic, and the results showed that wind speeds are fastest in jets over the NE coast during bora events and weakest in the mid-northwestern adriatic.

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of statistical properties of the meteorological and sea surface temperature fields along the west coast of the United States is described based on 10-yearlong observations from buoys deployed by the National Data Buoy Center.
