this is just a note that I haven't seen on here...The SST plots that are most useful for diagnosing proper SST are the ones at a diurnal minimum time... ie 12z or so in most of the Atlantic basin. SSTs at peak heating are not particularly important as they are extremely shallow and will just disappear the next time the sun goes down. also strong winds associated with a tropical cyclone will quickly dissipate any heating that isn't reflective of a deeper ocean layer than can be affected by daytime heating.

Christy......Someone might correct me but it seemed the MDR region was alittle warmer maybe at this time last year.I am thinking that later this month some better ideas about the upcoming season might start to develop.Synoptic patterns seem slow to change and the ridging in the Atlantic seems to want to hold.Benny you gave an explanation in another thread about radiation cooling of water.I think I got it just had to shift my mind over to molecular movement to see it.Thks.

If you look at this loop, you can see some areas in the Atlantic are warming substantially over the past 2 weeks:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... -loop.html
1) MDR region and waters off the coast of Africa between 50W and 15W
2) Gulf Stream Current off the SE coast of the U.S
3) Central GOM
An area that has surprisingly not warmed but have actually cooled is
- The Bahamas and waters north of the Greater Antilles from 75W to 50W
