I sure can, and it looks wicked!! :grr:

Its part of the loop current and its pissed!! (Eddy Vortex, right?)

Looks like light from the sun shimmering off of the water.

here is another image by NOAA showing the SSTs. Click the link for a loop that shows the Atlantic Basin warming steadily:

Using the link above, you can see the the big trough from two weeks ago really dropped the temps in the GOM and in the Bahamas...but look how quickly they are rebounding (especially the Bay of Campeche)...

The Weak La Nina still is hanging on although more warmer anomalies are seen at el nino 4 region west of 160w.

they used to not know fully what the loop currents role in tropical cyclone formation was until Kat and Rita crossed over it.now we know the loop current is a hurricanes's favorite kind of fuel.TS to CAT 5 in 1 days time

Something slightly different here. This satellite looks at sea surface height anomalies. http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/images/donnees/duacs/maps/msla_oer_merged_h_20541_lr.gif

thanks pk for the link. You can really see the La Nina anomaly clearly on that graphic.

WATER LOOKS KINDA COOL ALONG THE EASTCOAST THREW APRIL 8 BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE WITH TIME...

Little change, with the weak La Nina hanging on.
