A global visualization of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from June 1, 2002 through December 12, 2025, using data from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution (MUR) analysis. Warmer temperatures are shown in orange and red, while cooler waters appear in blue. This version is presented in a 16×9 aspect ratio with onscreen dates and a legend.

This visualization shows 23 years (June 1, 2002 through December 12, 2025) of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution (MUR) Sea Surface Temperature Analysis. Multiple versions are provided in 2×1 and 16×9 aspect ratios, with and without legends and labels.
