Overview

This page show the differences between monthly-mean sea surface temperature (SST) and multiyear means for the same time of year (climatology). Differences between analysis products (OSTIA and HadISST) are also shown.
Please note that since the OSTIA product is available before HadISST, the months shown for each product may be different - please check the figure captions.

In the following figures, the contour intervals are at 0.5 degrees C. The zero contour is bold.
