Current Tropical Sea Surface Temperatures

Visualizations by Alex Kekesi Released on October 2, 2006

Current sea surface temperature (SST) and SST anomaly data.

The Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data available for the Gulf of Mexico region and the Atlantic Coast region for the end of 2008. This data is used by scientists for studying hurricanes. For more information please click here.

The last 10 day average for 2008 of SST anomalies derived from Aqua/AMSR-E SST measurements.

This data is used by scientists for studying El Niño and La Niña cycles.

Legend for sea surface temperature anomalies. The color scale ranges from dark blue for areas 5 degrees Celsius below normal to dark red for regions 5 degrees Celsius above normal.
