As the Earth rotates in this animation we see global sea surface temperature between April 2020 - 2021. The real-time sea surface temperature dataset is provided by the NOAA Visualization Lab using data from NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch. The resolution of the data is 5 km/pixel. At this resolution, wavy ocean features such as the Gulf Stream along the East Coast of the United States are distinguishable. Growth and reduction of the warm water during the changing seasons can also be seen, for example, the red blob of warm water moves north in the northern hemisphere summer and south in the northern hemisphere winter. Sea surface temperature denoted by colorbar, 35°C = 95°F, 0°C = 32°F, where red depicts warm and blue depicts cold.
