Sea Surface Temperature Map

The characteristics of satellite sst data are wide coverage but low. Temperature breaks also mark “edges” that congregate bait fish, kelp, weed lines and sea life. The sst anomaly field (degrees c) is the difference between the.

This temperature directly or indirectly impacts the rate of all physical, chemical, and most biological processes occurring in the ocean. Noaa recently developed a higher resolution daily product that we’re processing for the sos. In turn, the most successful offshore fishermen use satellite maps of the ocean, such as sea surface temperature (sst) and chlorophyll maps, to track these same pockets of food, focus their efforts on the most productive bite zones, and as a result, catch more fish.

Negative means cooler than average.
