Sea surface temps animation

#1 Postby hurricanetrack » Sun Mar 21, 2004 9:39 pm

Here is a little animation that I put together. It only has 15 frames in it right now. It shows the sea surface temps from that one site: http://grads.iges.org/pix/atlpot.gif

Anyhow- I've been capturing an image per day- but it dropped or missed one or two- so I've only got 15 images so far for this month. Maybe I started late- who knows? But it's cool to see how the water temps fluctuate with the weather pattern. Now, towards the end of the loop, the ssts are warming up steadily.

I'll keep saving these images so that by June 1, we'll have a really neat animation of how the ssts warmed from March-June. Just fun. Not very useful- just something to do as I learn more about what can and cannot be animated.

Here is the link:

It is interresting that the SSTs are warming up noticeably each day in that animation :)

One other thing i noticed... Isnt that warm area near 24N/33W close to that feature in the east Atlantic that yall were looking at a couple days ago?
