Description: This atlas of the 200 mb circulation field contains northern winter monthly and seasonal mean wind analyses, velocity potential and streamfunction from 40S to 60N over a global belt for the decade 1973 through 1983. In addition, the deviations of the individual annual seasonal and monthly means from their respective ten year means are presented for the same variables. The basic wind data used are the operational Global Band Analyses (GBA) of the United States Navy's Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC). The analyses exhibit many interesting features, interannual variations and may shed some light on the understanding of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation phenomena.
