ACSPO SSTs at 0620 UTC and 0710 UTC on 6 May 2020 (Click to enlarge). The 0620 UTC image is actually from Suomi-NPP, not NOAA-20 as labeled.<\/p><\/div>\n

Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data from Suomi NPP and NOAA-20 can be used to create accurate sea-surface temperature (SST) fields using the Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO)<\/a> algorithms.\u00a0 The toggle above shows ACSPO SSTs over the Gulf of Maine from Suomi NPP<\/a> (at 0620 UTC<\/a>) and from NOAA-20<\/a> (at 0710 UTC<\/a>) — orbital paths can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0 Waters over the Gulf of Maine are relatively warm (around 41\u00baF) compared to the very cold waters (about 38\u00baF) southeast of Nova Scotia!<\/p>\n

VIIRS’ view of the Gulf Stream is shown below — with the colorbar range from 59\u00ba to 86\u00ba F (compared to 20\u00ba to 100\u00ba for the Gulf of Maine image above).\u00a0 Warmest Gulf Stream waters are around 85\u00ba, but more uniformly near 82\u00ba F, with shelf waters near 74\u00ba F and tropical Atlantic waters near 77\u00ba.<\/p>\n
