Sea surface temperature (2023)

Animated global map of the monthly average temperature of the top millimetre of the ocean’s surface throughout the year 2023.

Animated global map of the monthly average temperature of the top millimetre of the ocean’s surface throughout the year 2023. Sea surface temperature influences weather, including hurricanes, as well as plants and animals in the ocean. The sea surface tends to be warmer near the equator and colder near the poles and influenced by large currents moving warm and cold water around the planet. Some of these currents flow along the surface and are therefore visible in these sea surface temperature images. The underlying data is derived by satellite measurements (i.e., MODIS instrument on NASA’s Aqua satellite). The Scientific colour map ‘glasgow‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.

Annual global temperature change (artistic)

The annual global surface temperature anomalies relative to a 1961-1990 reference period as historically measured over time since the year 1850.

The annual global surface temperature anomalies relative to a 1961-1990 reference period as historically measured over time since the year 1850 based on the UK Met Office HadCRUT5.0 dataset (Morice et al.). The 3-D graph illustrates the rise in average temperatures and climate change. The Scientific colour map ‘vik‘ is used to represent data accurately and to all readers.
