Is there any source of data for water temperature at various depths below the surface?


I wish they had better graphics for the ATL.. like the PAC.

I see what you mean.

In the pacific graphic, surface temperatures are roughly normal, but 100 feet down, maybe a 4°C anomaly.

All of this stored energy, cooking the coral, just waiting to fuel another one of those big typhoons.

Same thing in the GOM, as far as I can tell.

I'm surprised this hasn't been bumped yet... anyway, the Atlantic anomaly map has been updated. It looks like the SSTs are gradually normalizing...

How can that be? Why would it normalize rather then continue to warm since we're getting closer and closer to the hottest part of the summer?

yea, i was wondering that too. The only expliination i can think of is the upper level winds that created all the shear so far this season kept SSTs at bay.

I think it has something to do with how far deep in the waters, the waters remain favorable for tropical development. They were discussing it on the tropics show. He was mentioning that the SSTs may be pretty normal in the atlantic but if you measure deeper in the waters, it's still above normal and that is what's more important. The SSTs can warm up quickly.

Lets hope no storms go over that area--- those areas will only continue
to heat up by August and September...Some very Intense Oceanic Heat Content lies there.

If only we could get a TD in the NW Caribbean, then we can actually get a major hurricane to add to the 06' Season.

This is Jaw-Dropping: Virtually all of the GOM could
support a CAT 5 without shear and without dry air present. :eek:

Also check out the Central Atlantic near the Islands of the
Southeastern Caribbean...Category 5 Fuel... :eek:

Fact789 what is scary is the dark spot off the west coast of
Florida just west of Tampa Bay/St.Pete...that dark color can
support above Category 5 150-165 knot winds....

That dark color is also visible in the loop current just
south of the Gulf Coast.
