Sea Surface Temperature - NASA Earth Observatory
The satellite measures the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean surface. In this map, the coolest waters appear in blue (approximately -2 degrees Celsius), and the warmest temperatures appear in pink-yellow (35 degrees Celsius).
The Ocean Has a Fever - NASA Earth Observatory
2023年8月24日 · Decades of gradual warming due to human-caused climate change and an El Niño in the Pacific Ocean nudged global sea surface temperatures to record levels in 2023.
Tracking 30 Years of Sea Level Rise - NASA Earth Observatory
2022年8月10日 · Scientists have found that global mean sea level—shown in the line plot above and below—has risen 10.1 centimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992. Over the past 140 years, satellites and tide gauges together show that global sea level has risen 21 to 24 centimeters (8 to 9 …
Sea Surface Temperature & Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly
Sea surface temperature refers to the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean. An anomaly is a departure from average conditions. These maps compare temperatures in a given month to the long-term average temperature of that month from 1985 through 1997.
Land Surface Temperature & Sea Surface Temperature - NASA …
This image depicts average monthly land surface temperature in degrees Celsius as measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Terra satellite. The warmest temperatures are pale yellow, while the coldest temperatures are dark blue.
Sea Surface Temperature & Chlorophyll - NASA Earth Observatory
The satellites measure the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean surface. In this map, the coolest waters appear in blue (approximately -2 degrees Celsius), and the warmest temperatures appear in pink-yellow (35 degrees Celsius).
Sea Surface Temperature & Land Surface Temperature Anomaly
The satellites measure the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean surface. In this map, the coolest waters appear in blue (approximately -2 degrees Celsius), and the warmest temperatures appear in pink-yellow (35 degrees Celsius).
Sea Surface Temperature & Water Vapor - NASA Earth Observatory
These sea surface temperature maps are based on observations by the MODIS sensors on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. The satellites measure the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean surface.
Ocean Heat for Hurricane Helene - NASA Earth Observatory
2024年9月26日 · Surface waters above 27.8 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit)—the temperature generally required to sustain and intensify hurricanes—are represented in red on the map. The tongue of warm water is also visible in maps of sea surface temperature anomalies on NASA’s State of the Ocean data viewer.
Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly - NASA Earth Observatory
At irregular intervals (roughly every 3-6 years), the sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean along the equator become warmer or cooler than normal. These anomalies are the hallmark of El Niño and La Niña climate cycles, which can influence weather patterns across the globe.
