Evolution of GOES-East IR, NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) sea surface salinity (SSS), and NASA Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) sea surface temperature (SST) response to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season response.

Evolution of the NASA Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) sea surface temperature (SST) response to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. It is common to observe trails of cooler water, or cold wakes, along hurricane tracks as a result of wind-induced mixing and turbulence that brings cold waters at depth to the surface. The cold wakes associated with the 2019 Atlantic tropical cyclones are clearly observed as waters approximately 2°C cooler from normal that persisted for several days. (MUR SST DOI: 10.5067/GHGMR-4FJ04).
Evolution of the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) sea surface salinity (SSS) response to the 2019 East Pacific hurricane season. It is common to observe patches of 1) salinity freshening due to enhanced precipitation and 2) salinity increase due to wind stress-generated vertical mixing, wherein increased salinity from a mid-level maximum is brought to the surface. The two effects are clearly observed along the tracks of the 2019 East Pacific tropical cyclones.

The PO.DAAC is issuing a data outage alert on the GHRSST Level 4 G1SST Global Foundation Sea Surface Temperature Analysis (https://doi.org/10.5067/GHG1S-4FP01) dataset. From 9 December 2019 to present, the G1SST dataset has produced poor quality SST results. This matter is currently being investigated, but due to current lack of support (funding and resources), we do not anticipate a quick resolution to the situation.
