Global Climate Change: Research Explorer - Sea Surface Temperatures
Over the long term, SST data can be used to study annual shifts in ocean currents and temperatures. These changes in ocean conditions are interconnected with seasonal weather patterns such as monsoons ... droughts. SST data are also crucial to understanding periodic phenomena like El Nio and long-term climate shifts attributable to global warming. The data represented on this map come from satellite ...
