A record-setting marine heat wave has formed off Southern California, and the next few weeks may determine whether it fades ...

Climate models suggest a ‘strong’ El Niño could occur later this year, with the potential of increasing global temperatures.

Rising sea surface temperatures in coastal waters are driving 50 to 64 percent of the increase in large-scale humid heat ...

A strong El Niño occurs when unusually warm ocean temperatures develop in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, altering atmospheric circulation and weather patterns across the globe. In the United ...

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental parameter in understanding climate dynamics, ocean circulation and air–sea interactions. Advances in remote sensing techniques have considerably enhanced ...

For over three decades, satellites orbiting Earth have measured the height of the ocean surface with remarkable precision.

As global temperatures rise, so do sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and that’s having a direct impact on hurricane activity. Hurricanes are essentially heat engines, fueled by the warmth of the ocean.

It may sparkle in the sun, but the ocean's surface is a dynamic thermometer for our planet. The sea surface temperature (SST) is measured by satellites and buoys in the ocean, to give the most ...
