“…At present, the indicated difference does not enable us to use these data together as a joint climatic series. However, the results of special investigations carried out at the Marine Hydrophysical Institute and aimed at the comparison of the data of measurements by contact and remote methods as well as the SST maps plotted on the basis of the data of these investigations are in fairly satisfactory agreement with the hydrological maps constructed in [7]. Indeed, in the process of subsequent development of the remote methods, they would inevitably become basic not only in the prediction of current weather but also in the investigation of climate.…”

551.465On the basis of generalization of the data of many-year hydrological observations and the data of meteorological satellites accumulated in recent years, we characterize some specific features of the surface temperature in the Tropical Atlantic. The influence of solar radiation, local heat balance, and the advective and diffusion heat transfer on the temperature of the water surface is analyzed. The mechanism of formation of the thermohalocline and local sites of elevated temperature near the estuaries of large rivers (such as the Amazon, Orinoco, Mississippi, Congo, and Niger) is described. We also characterize the formation of the seasonal variability of the nearequatorial temperature maximum, equatorial temperature minimum, and equatorial divergence rate.
