They are tabularized in the following publica-tions:l Climatic Publications Prepared for Com-mander, Naval Oceanography Command, prepared by NAVOCEANCOMDET, Asheville, and updated annually. This document lists all climatic publications prepared for the Navy and gives ordering information.l Guide to Standard Weather Summaries (NAVAIR 50-1C-534) contains an index of all the standard machine-tabulated summaries available through NAVOCEANCOMDET, Asheville. In addition, many Navy climatic References are listed in the to prepare climatological briefings and packets:l U.S. Navy Marine Climatic Atlas of the World, (NAVAIR 50-1C-528 through 533, 550, 554, and 565). These publications contain climatic data for all the principal ocean areas of the world. They have both land and ocean sections. The surface section contains data presented by graphs, tables, and isopleths on such elements as surface winds, visibility, precipitation, storm tracks, etc. The oceanographic section includes charts of tide data, currents, and ice.. U.S. Navy Hindcast Spectral Ocean Wave Model Atlases, Data is based on numerically derived historical data in the form of wind and wave climatology. These publications are designed to provide a more accurate representation of overall ocean wave climatic data for some applications. They are designed to supplement but not supersede the con-ventional Marine climatic atlases.Local Area Forecasters Handbooks The Local Area Forecasters Handbooks, as required by NAVOCEANCOM Instruction 3140.2( ), contain valuable information on local and area weather as follows: A description of the local topography and terrain, general synoptic characteristics of weather occurrences in the local area, mean storm tracks for your region, a limited amount of climatological data, and local forecasting rules or techniques. A handbook can serve as a composite summary of expected weather events and the effects of certain parameters on local weather.Naval Intelligence Survey (NIS) Publications The Naval Intelligence Survey (NIS) pub-lications have been discontinued, and distribu-tion is limited. However, when available, these classified publications are a valuable source of information about general climatic influences and topographic/oceanic effects on regions from which unclassified data may no longer be available.Miscellaneous Publications The following publications contain generally the same type of climatological information or specific data. They have proven to be extremely useful.1. Climatic Summaries for Major Seventh Fleet Ports and Waters, N A V A IR 50-1C-62. 2.
