We discuss the large-scale setting for the Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX). A climatology of the west-central North Atlantic, derived from various data sets, is presented, and the meteorological and oceanographic context for FASINEX is thereby established. While the atmospheric and oceanic processes of interest during the intensive phases of FASINEX are not resolved in this large-scale study, we are able to show how these scales produce an environment favorable to the smaller-scale processes of frontogenesis that are the subject of other contributions is in this issue. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1991
