Animations of Weekly SST Anomaly Maps from January 3, 1996 to July 1, 2009

Guest Post by Bob Tisdale

EXCERPT:

The following four animations of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies were created using the mapping feature (Full Version) of the NOAA NOMADS system for the weekly OI.v2 SST data:

The “Contour interval for var1” was set at 0.2 deg C to bring out the lower-intensity temperature anomalies. “white” was set at “0” so that blues represented negative anomalies and reds represented positive anomalies. All four videos last for approximately 2 1/2 minutes.

Please click on the videos to watch them in a larger size at YouTube. There they can be expanded to full screen and set to high definition.

In the link are 4 video's covering a section of the worlds oceans.Worth clicking on them to show how variable Sea Surface Temperatures are on the ocean waters surfaces over the years.
