Prevailing monthly and seasonal surface wind directions were obtained from (1) weather records for 21 coastal stations around the Arctic Ocean and (2) a series of U.S. Navy wind charts for 15 to 20 locations in the arctic marginal seas and the ocean's interior. This information was combined and analyzed to develop 2 charts which depict the surface flow of air in these areas during the mid-summer and mid-winter months. Since the ice floe stations used in the offshore wind analysis are not permanently located, the Arctic Ocean was selectively divided into 6 zones. Three of these zones separate Polar regions north of 84 degrees latitude, and 3 other zones each separate the seas bordering the north coasts of Europe, Siberian Russia and North America.

" ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and it drifts against the wind as often as with it." Kongespeilet - 1250 A.D. ("The Mirror of Kings") Modern societies require increasing amounts influence on the water mass and on the resulting of scientific information about the environment total environment of the region; therefore, cer tain of its characteristics will necessarily be in whieh they live and work. For the seas this information must describe the air above the sea, included.

The Pendleton (Oregon) Project, conducted between September 1968 and May 1970, was designed to study in detail the effects of meteorological conditions on sonic booms. Data consisted of booms of opportunity resulting from U.S. Air Force SR-71 training missions, flying at or above 20 km faster than Mach 2.5. These were recorded by a dense grid and line array of self-activated microphone-recorder systems; results were compared with those computed by the ARAP sonic boom propagation program using the observed as well as the standard atmosphere. A total of 46 sonic booms, involving over 1800 signatures, were selected for the final analysis. Meteorological data consisted of conventional upper-air soundings to above aircraft level, and routine, detailed sampling of boundary layer structure and turbulence by means of a specially instrumented light aircraft.
