Vademecum of climatology

Don't you always look for what looks like a climatology of an oceanic/atmospheric field ? and spend hours to figure out in which book or website to look for it ? Well, sometimes I do.

This page is here to help me sorting out this kind of climatological fields (and you too I hope !) ... No science description here, just state of the art climato I looked for at some point during my research.
