SST Comparison Between RT_OFS_ATL and OI SST

** Experimental Product **

Real Time Ocean Forecast System (RT_OFS_ATL) 0 hour nowcasts are compared to daily Optimum Interpolation (OI) SST analyses. OI SST is a ¼ degree latitude/longitude analysis from NOAA National Climatic Data Center (www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/sst/oi-daily.php). All RT_OFS_ATL grids shown here are in standard latitude/longitude format. The RT_OFS_ATL SST shown here for the entire Atlantic has a resolution of 0.255 degrees. The RT_OFS_ATL grids for the Gulf of Maine, Mid Atlantic Coast and Southeast Atlantic Coast have resolutions of 0.046 degrees and the Gulf of Mexico grid has a resolution of 0.034 degrees.

Monthly Averages of RT_OFS_ATL - OI SST are here: 2007 Sep Oct NovDec 2008 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
