A Satellite Metocean Climate Atlas

An On-line Service, for user-defined areas

1. - CLIOSat Personal Atlas - General Metocean Climate

From satellite measurements of Geosat, Topex-Poseidon, Ers1 and Ers2, statistics are provided:

for a subdivision of the World's oceans into 169 ``climate homogeneous'' areas

for quaterly and yearly time periods

in the form of the following products:

Histograms of

significant wave heights

waves spectral peaks periods

waves spectral peaks directions

wind speeds

wind directions

Joint probabilities diagrams of

significant wave height / zero-crossing period

significant wave height / main spectral peak direction

spectral peaks significant wave heights / periods

spectral peaks significant wave heights / directions

spectral peaks periods / directions

wind speed / direction

Percentages of ``multipeaked seas''

Extremes estimates for significant wave height
