Atlas of Pilot Charts 105 covers the South Atlantic Ocean from the northern coast of Brazil and northwest coast of Africa down to the southernmost tips of South America and Africa.

Pilot Charts depict averages in prevailing winds and currents, air and sea temperatures, wave heights, ice limits, visibility, barometric pressure, and weather conditions at different times of the year. The information used to compile these averages was obtained from oceanographic and meteorologic observations over many decades during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

Each volume is an atlas of twelve pilot charts, each depicting the observed conditions for a particular month of any given year.
