Abstract
Monthly averages of sea surface temperature for the period 1947–1960 are subjected to a harmonic analysis to determine the amplitude and phase of the annual and semiannual temperature variation. The harmonic parameters are calculated for each two‐degree square of the Pacific Ocean north of 20° S lat and are presented in five charts. The distribution of the harmonic parameters and their contribution in shaping the seasonal variation are discussed.
