Monthly average Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly

Shown is the May 2015 monthly average Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly showing 'the Blob' of record warm temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. This image was generated by PO.DAAC using NASA's Multi-Scale Ultra-High Resolution (MUR) SST dataset. The image was featured on the cover of a recent Geophysical Research Letters journal in association with an article by Chelle Gentleman, a former PO.DAAC User Working Group member.

Data in Action: Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG)

Why pay attention to Greenland? Greenland’s ice sheets are melting and contributing to global sea level rise. There is enough ice on Greenland that global sea level can rise by 6 meters if it were all to melt. Satellites can tell us how much ice mass loss is occurring, thanks to GRACE, but that does not provide a full picture of the processes that are causing the melt.
