Sea Surface Temperatures: West Versus East Coast.

Sea Surface Temperatures: West Versus East Coast.

Perhaps, this blog spends too much time talking about the atmosphere, so to make amends today, let's see what is happening to the temperature of the ocean surface.  And see whether anything unusual is going on.

 Let's start with yesterday's sea surface temperatures around North America (below).  Sorry, it is all in °C.   Keep in mind that 10°C is roughly 50F,  20°C is around 68F, and 30°C is approximately 86F.

The eastern Pacific near the West Coast is cold (about 50F), with central California's waters a bit cooler than ours. You must head to the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula to find the water warm enough for comfortable swimming.


The East Coast is a study in contrasts.  The water off of New England is crazy cold (dropping below 7C), while the uber-warm Gulf Stream is found along the west coast of Florida, moves past the Carolinas, and then heads northeastward into the Atlantic.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

In the US, the Pacific is colder than the Atlantic?  Shocking.   *****rollingeyes***** *****rollingeyes*****

I wonder if the warm anomaly in the Caribbean will result in some early season hurricanes.  Supposedly, la nina can also weaken the shear and allow for cyclogenesis in areas that normally are hostile.

The water off New England isn't "scary" cold ... there's no steam coming off the seawater nor is Boston harbor frozen.

Now that the Pacific appears to be transitioning from an El Nino to a La Nina, is this another excuse for TV weather personalities to lecture us about the impending doom of Climate Change?

Every story about the weather can be spun into a Climate Change story.  Doubt it?  Just watch the Weather Channel....
