Views of sea surface height (represented by the bumps) and sea temperature (represented by the color). Red is 30 degrees C, blue is 8 degrees C. The thermocline is the border between the dark blue at the bottom and the cyan. The thermocline exists at 20 degress C.    Views of sea surface height (represented by the bumps) and sea temperature (represented by the color). Red is 30 degrees C, blue is 8 degrees C.
