SST'S and Anomalies in Atlantic and Pacific

[gatorcane]

those are not temperatures meteorologyman - that is vertical wind shear.

Found something this is Feburary SST top is 2006 bottom is 2005

Let me see if I can find one for this month

SST plots for 04/06 21Z.....still warm. I looked at every hour and there's not much change in temps. Where it's in the 80's, it stays in the 80's day and night. I believe that 90 degree mark near the Yucatan is a fluke reading...or at least I hope it is!

The caribbean is HOT, HOT, HOT. If a storm goes into there while shear is low it will BOMB, BOMB, and BOMB.

Imagine this setup in august or september!

That is a bit simplistic. There are so many factors to consider one of which is wind shear. Also, the temps are normal or even a tad below normal for this time of year. Nothing to be surprised at.

The Caribbean will always be warm, year after year. We should look at at some of the other areas in the Atlantic Basin that vary from year to year. As you can see by the map below, it looks like many areas of the Atantic Basin are actually running above normal...

Woah, looks like the first of the Orange is finally showing up a bit.


Getting interesting out there.

I hope that the temperature reading off of the yucatan is a data glitch, or thats a really bad sign

The 90F reading is probably a drifting buoy in just a few feet of water that has been beached.. you see that a lot.. look at the diurnal variation to confirm.. if it varies more than a degree or two... ?!??!

[benny]

In fact you can see the same thing off the w coast of Guatemala... beached buoy!

ERIKA I FOUND IT

this is the website that will show SST from January 1992 all the to this day

http://www.imcs.rutgers.edu/cool/sat_da ... nothumbs=0

however some images are bad or hard to read

[benny]

old SSTs are also at http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/composite/

if you choose Renanalysis SST and surface it should work..

[skysummit]

Today's 20Z SST Plot. Notice the data just off the Yucatan...today it's 91! That's one hot beached buoy! Hopefully it's beached!

The GOM and the Atlantic is warming up though if the ridge wasn't here it would have been warmer from what I've heard.

[cycloneye]

The weak La Nina looks more weaker now than in the past week.The question is if this trend of weakening and tilting to Neutral will materilize more earlier than thought or these are fluctuations.

[tailgater]

David disturbing the word that you used is the right one to describe how the GOM is right now in terms of the sst's and ssta's.

Temps cooled a little this week and last but warming again in N. gulf.

this thread really doesn't need a bump.

this thread really doesn't need a bump.

This chart is the best one for the GOM, FLA coast and NW carribean( SST's). It updates every day, and it's hard to find if left to the abyss of this thread.
