The Changing Annual Cycle of Sea Surface Temperature
In recent decades, many research efforts focused on global climate change, multidecadal, decadal, interannual variability, and the increasing extreme events of sea surface temperature. In contrast, the continuous evolution of the reference frame, the annual cycle of SST used to quantify the …

Prediction of the spring transition and related sea-surface temperature anomalies
… and Garwood (1978) for generation of upper ocean temperature anomalies during the spring transition period was tested. If the transition between the winter and summer regimes occurred earlier (later) than normal, the seasonal heating was expected to have been accumulated in a shallow (deep) layer, …

Variability of zooplankton and sea surface temperature in the Southern Ocean
… affects the variability of zooplankton and sea surface temperature, both of which are involved in air-sea exchanges of carbon dioxide. First, I examine the formation of spatial patterns in the distribution of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) resulting from social behavior. Turbulence of …

Relationships between sea surface temperature and nutrients in satellite detected oceanic fronts
… California coast off Point Sur reveal recurrent surface features which appear to be "thermal discontinuities" associated with aperiodic upwelling events. Some of these have associated "chemical fronts" and increased biological activity. Satellite IR imagery was used to locate "discontinuities" …

Coral skeleton density banding: biotic response to changes in sea surface temperature
… by the coral holobiont response to changes in sea surface temperature (SST). To test this hypothesis, data were collected from coral skeleton-tissue biopsies (2.5 cm in diameter) extracted from four species of Montastraea growing on the fringing reef tract of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. …

Summer sea surface temperature variability off Vancouver Island from satellite data, 1984-1991
… Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data over eight summers (1984-1991) were used to analyze the summer SST patterns of variability off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of the spatial variance for 133 nearly …

Sea surface temperature anomalies in the South Indian ocean : observations and atmospheric modelling
Sea surface temperature (SSTs) variations in the South Indian Ocean have been found to influence rainfall over Southern Africa. As one of the modes of South Indian Ocean SST variability, the subtropical South Indian Ocean dipole is observed to be associated with dry and wet summer conditions over …

Satellite-derived sea surface temperature, mesoscale variability, and foraminiferal production in the North Atlantic
… Atlantic during 1988-1990. Satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) and CTD data were integrated with time-corrected flux data to determine the effects of seasonal hydrographic changes on foraminiferal production and species succession in surface waters. The thermal structure of the …

A holocene sea surface temperature record in mollusc shells from the South African coast
… the construction of a Holocene history of sea surface temperatures in coastal regions of the southern Benguela and eastern Agulhas Bank of South Africa, using marine mollusc shells preserved in archaeological middens. Two independent palaeothermometers were employed: the traditional oxygen …

Satellite derived sea surface temperature and wind field variability in the Benguela upwelling region
… along most of the coast south of 16 °S, seasonal variations were observed for both the SST and the upwelling favorable wind conditions. Inter-annual variability is common, and with these datasets it was possible to highlight periods of anomalous conditions. Results indicated that both the …

Environmental errors in use of the airborne infrared radiation thermometer to measure sea-surface temperature
… radiation thermometer (IRT) used to measure the sea-surface temperature is described, and the basic radiation principles on which the operation of the instrument depends are discussed. The environmental factors which may tend to introduce errors into the measurement of sea-surface temperature by …

Impact of Wind Driven Variability on Sea Surface Temperature and Ocean Colour in False Bay
… investigate wind variability and its impact on sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll concentration (Chl-a) variability within False Bay and the Cape Peninsula region. High resolution (1 km) coastal winds derived from the Sentinel-1 satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) show that winds …

Dependence of tropical cirrus clouds on sea surface temperature and consequences for the Archean climate
… the variation of upper level cloud fraction with sea surface temperature in tropical oceanic regions. We also explore the consequences of a cloud feedback, arising from variations in the coverage of thin upper level clouds, in the climate of the Archean using a simple radiative-convective model …
