This atlas is a basic one compiled after analyzing, sorting out and synthesizing the in-situ observations. The data come from the eight cruises of comprehensive survey from Dec. 1985 to July, 1990 within the sea area of 11°00′S~20°00′N, 116°00′E~165°00′E. by Sino-U.S. Joint Studies On the Air -Sea Interaction in the Tropical Western Pacific.

1. The Atlas coverage: 13°00′S~24°00′N, 120°00′E ~ 167°00′E;
2. The Atlas contains sectional and vertical distributions of hydrological and chemical element, vetorial distribution,     meridional and zonal distributions of currents for the eight cruises of the Sino-U.S.joint survey in the tropical western     pacific.
3. Sectional and Vertical distri- butions of water temperature, salinity, density anomaly and dissolved oxygen are plotted on     the atlas. For the convenience of comparison, these two kinds of charts are arranged on the two adjacent pages.
4.The data of the atlas are primarily the CTD/O2 from the Sino-U.S.joint investigation in the tropical western Pacific, the     data obtained from ADCP observation and routine sampling, and chemical data analyzed by the sea water nutrient     autoanalyzer.
