HoloGlobe: Sea Surface Temperature Climatology on a Globe (with Dates)
This is one of a series of animations that were produced to be part of the narrated video shown in the HoloGlobe exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the Earth Today exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. In this animation, colors represent sea surface temperatures in degrees centigrade, with blue representing temperatures less than 4 degrees, cyan representing temperatures between 4 and 11 degrees, green representing temperatures between 11 and 18 degrees, yellow representing temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees, orange representing temperatures between 25 and 32 degrees, and deep red representing temperatures greater than 32 degrees.

Sea surface temperature climatology on a rotating globe, averaged from NOAA AVHRR measurements for the period January 1982 through December 1988    Sea surface temperature climatology on a rotating globe, averaged from NOAA AVHRR measurements for the period January 1982 through December 1988
