Title:
Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly, 2005 (WMS)
Instrument:
Aqua/AMSR-E
Description:
This is the color bar for the sea surface temperature anomaly animation.
Abstract:
The temperature of the surface of the world's oceans provides a clear indication of the state of the Earth's climate and weather. The sea surface temperature anomaly, or difference from the mean, can show climate indicators such as the El Nino oscillation, which manifests as a warmer-than-normal sea surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean west of Ecuador and Peru. This sequence shows a slight La Nina effect, or cooler-than-normal sea surface temperature in the eastern Pacific.
