Also included here is a VRML representation of a subset of the imagery that will allow you to interactively navigate through a VRML world. The colors in this picture show the relative temperature of the sea surface.
Red areas are warmer and blue areas are cooler.
Notice how the bands of color in the animations move with the changing seasons. Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies Temperature anomalies show the departure from the normal sea surface temperatures. Red shows regions where the water is warmer than normal and blue shows regions where the water is cooler. Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies Composited with Outgoing Longwave Radiation These images show temperature anomalies along with outgoing longwave radiation in the tropics. OLR serves as a tracer for clouds in tropical regions and is colored white in these images.
