ABSTRACT

These charts, based on ship injection temperature data, show the
monthly maximum, minimum, and mean sea surface temperatures for
the Indian Ocean. The data are numerous in all but the southernmost
portion of the area, and the addition of new data probably will not greatly
change the analysis.

Upwelling along the coasts of the continents is evident on the charts.
Of particular interest is a little-studied region off the coast of the Somali
Republic, where during the southwest monsoon, the mean temperature
in one 1° quadrangle drops to 4°F. less than the mean temperature in
the surrounding 1° quadrangles. The maximum and minimum sea sur-
face charts show temperature variations which are sometimes masked by
the averaging of the temperatures on the mean charts, as in the Antarc-
tic Convergence, which is best shown on the maximum charts.

The graphs of monthly variability of temperature in selected locations
show that surface temperature values in the Indian Ocean north of the
Equator have two maximum periods during the year, as compared to one
maximum per year in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Because of the large quantity of data involved, these charts, in general,
are more definitive than charts of other parameters such as salinity, except
where the analysis were based on fewer than 25 observations per 1° quad-
rangle or in regions where the 1° quadrangle averaging disguises more
complex thermal structure.

FOREWORD

The charts in this publication are based on ship injection
temperature data collected over more than 100 years. They are
being made available as an interim convenience before a more
extensive analysis of the Indian Ocean can be made and presented
in Publication No. 70h, "Oceanographic Atlas of the Indian Ocean,
Section ITI, Physical Properties." It is hoped that this volume
will prove useful to analysts in the interpretation of the large
quantities of data collected during the recent International
Indian Ocean Expedition,

MONTHLY CHARTS OF MEAN, MINIMUM, AND MAXIMUM
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE INDIAN OCEAN
introduction

The Naval Oceanographic Office is currently engaged in producing a
series of atlases on the oceans of the world. In these atlases the
Physical Properties Section deals mainly with the distribution and
variation of three basic parameters: temperature, salinity, and density.
While analyses of these parameters are made as complete as present data
allow, undoubtedly some modifications will be necessary with the
collection of new data.

The charts and graphs of sea surface temperature in the atlases as
well as in this publication, however, are based on ship injection data
so numerous in many regions that little future modification may be
necessary. Therefore, these charts are being published herein until a
more extensive analysis can be presented in Pub. No. 704 “Oceanographic
Atlas of the Indian Ocean Section II, Physical Properties." The current
need for sea surface temperature charts for use in analyzing the inter-
national Indian Ocean Expedition data has prompted an earlier release of

these charts.

Description of the charts

Sea surface temperatures are the most easily collected of oceano-
graphic measurements. In addition to oceanographic and naval vessels,
ships of opportunity furnish sea surface temperature data by their
reports of injection temperatures.

Because injection temperatures are commonly taken below the surface
and may be influenced by heat from the ship's engines or boilers, they
are not individually considered as reliable as temperatures derived from
bucket thermometers or Nansen casts. However, if taken in sufficient
quantities by a number of ships over a prolonged period, the overall
reliability of injection temperature data improves considerably.

When analyzing this type of data, the following criteria are used:

€ 25 obs/1° square -- poor
25-99 obs/1° square -- good
2100 obs/1° square -- excellent

To show regions of reliability, those ae” squares containing 25 or
more observations are shaded on the presented charts.

Mean, minimum, and maximum sea surface temperatures were analyzed
on monthly charts. These analyses were done on charts that had been
mechanically plotted by an X-Y plotter. The data on these charts con-
sisted of injection temperatures collected by various international
marine organizations and are retained in punch card form at the U. 5S.
National Weather Records Center, Asheville, North Carolina and at the
Naval Oceanographic Office. The data listed in the following table for

the marine decks cover the period from 1854 until 1961.

On the mean charts the machine utilized all available data, whereas
on the minimum and maximum charts the machine was instructed to omit
data for squares containing fewer than 10 observations. Because of the
inherent error in injection temperature data, minimum temperature was
taken as the first temperature class interval for which frequencies
equal or exceed 2.5 percent of the data, while maximum temperature was
taken as the first class interval that equals or exceeds 97.5 percent
of the data.

As the temperature values on the minimum and maximum charts were
plotted for class intervals of 1°R, each, and therefore as whole numbers,
the analysis was necessarily different from that of the mean charts,
where the plotted values were carried to one decimal place. The method
of analysis was intended to show the maximum intrusion of extreme
temperatures. The minimum isoline was drawn on the warmer border of

the temperature class interval, whereas the maximum isoline was drawn on

the colder border of the temperature class interval, as shown in the

following example:

In addition to the horizontal charts, graphs of monthly sea surface
temperature variation for selected locations are shown. In this presen-
tation the percentage distribution of sea surface temperature in 1°F.
class intervals was plotted for each month, and curves of 1, 2.5, 25,
50, 75, 97.5, and 99 percent were constructed.

The choice of locations for these graphs was governed by the desire
to demonstrate the degree of variability which occurs between various
regions in this ocean, while attempting to select those locations with
a sufficiently high number of observations to allow reasonable analysis.

In comparing the analyzed charts, several features are noticeable.
For example, the upwelling of cold water along the coasts of continents
is evident. Of particular interest is the little-studied area off the
east coast of the Somali Republic. During the southwest monsoon the
persistence of the wind produces general upwelling along this coast.
This is most evident off Ras Hafun (10°25'N., 51°16'E.), where the July
mean temperature in the appropriate i square is nearly 4°F. less than
the July mean temperature in the surrounding 1° squares. In the graphs
of monthly variability the double maximum-minimum characteristics of the
Indian Ocean's north equatorial waters is strongly accentuated off Ras
Hafun. Here, the minimum during July - August may be compared to the
warmer minimum temperatures occurring at the same time in nearby regions.
In addition to the temperatures shown off Ras Hafun, a low of 55°r, has
recently been reported by the Scripps ship ARGO during the International
Indian Ocean Expedition.

The 1° square spacing of these charts, as well as the monthly
treatment of data, may hide small local or temporary temperature con-
ditions, especially on the mean charts, where the averaging of values
may oversimplify the temperature variations of a complex region. These
fluctuations may be better determined by referring to the maximum or
minimum charts. For example, the Antarctic Convergence Zone, poorly
discernible on the mean charts, is well defined on the maximum charts.
Major current systems of the Indian Ocean, such as the North Equatorial
Current and the Equatorial Countercurrent, are also best defined on the
charts of maximum temperatures. In turn, currents of cool water are
best defined on the minimum chart, as for example the intrusion of cool
water in the South China Sea in February.

Because of the large quantity of data involved, it is believed that
these charts are, in general, more definitive than oceanographic charts
of other parameters such as salinity, for which data are sparse.
Although these charts may not be considered accurately descriptive where
the analysis was based on fewer than 25 observations per i square, or in
areas where the ne square averaging disguises more complex thermal
structure, they are useful tools for the ocean scientist, especially

where other types of data do not exist or are in poor distribution.
