Based upon a new established Comprehensive Ocean-Atmospheric Data Sets (COADS) subtracted from the surface meteorological observation over the global oceans, this atlas presents the basic fields of monthly climate physics of the tropical Pacific for 1950-1979 thirty year period, including the atmospheric thermal, kenetic and dynamic features of ocean surface, the air-sea radiation, heat moisture and momentum transfer, the horizontal heat transport near the ocean surface, and their seasonal marching as well as the interannual variability, and summarizes the major features of physical climate in this region. It is intended to provide a climatological background for researchers in the field of climate diagnostics and air-sea interaction.
