The present investigation is based upon the data observed at the Ocean Weather Stations “ Extra ” (39°N,153°E) and “ Tango ” (29°N,135°E) from March 1948 to November 1953. Notable features of the annual variations of the air and the sea-surface temperatures and the wind are described, the comparison being made between the two stations. Some relationships between those elements are examined. It is found that a very high correlation exists between the air and the sea-surface temperature anomalies during the warm season (from May to October) and, on the other hand, that during the cold season (from November to April) the air temperature anomaly is more closely associated with the anomaly of the NS component of wind rather than with the sea-surface temperature.
