27 MAY 97 -- SST Anomalies

El Nino event appears to be taking over much of the
estern Pacific as warm water speads north to Alaska
and south to Chile.  Intersting cool pool of water
remains just north of Hawaii [presisted for most of
1997 so far].

Cool water along the NE coastline inside the Gulf
Stream off US persists up to the St. Lawrence.

Cool water continues in South Atlantic along the
Equator and south.

Tropical cyclone left its cool "wake" in the Bay
of Bengal and over into the Andaman Islands.
