The atlas presents synoptic charts as an aid to users of the BOMEX data. Included in the atlas are mercator projection charts for sea level, the top of the Ekman layer, and 700-, 500-, and 200-mb levels. Operational charts plotted at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, were used as a base. These were subsequently reanalyzed at the National Climatic Center, Asheville, North Carolina, to include final BOMEX shipboard data. Also, where reports were sparse or infrequent, knowledge of general climatology and persistence was incorporated for fuller coverage. The charts were reviewed to improve continuity in time. Vertical consistency was checked, but difficult to define, since the upper air charts reflect streamline analyses.
