The warmest sea surface temperatures (and anomalies) are located across the west-central equatorial Pacific, which has been an area of consistent atmospheric lift, increased cloud cover, and precipitation. Sea surface temperature anomalies are particularly important in the tropical oceans, as anomalies help to modify the Walker Circulation, whose behavior play a major role in precipitation (and temperature) patterns across the global tropics (and to a lesser extent the middle latitudes).Įarly in 2019, we have an El Niño signature in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The first plot shows sea surface temperature anomalies, or a difference from the average sea surface temperature at a given location (or grid box). ![]() ![]() Gone are the days of worrying about whether data for your country will show, in this case we'll produce a world map with data that covers the Earth □ □ Now you should have your dataset in your home directory! Next, we leverage the power of Python with Plotly to view and inspect climate data in a new, interactive format that enables you to zoom to low levels for greater detail.
