The Eastern U.S. satellite images have dimensions of
512x512 pixels at a spatial resolution of 4.8 km x 3.0 km, covering the area
23° N - 45° N and 82° - W 68° W. These images are useful to examine the sea surface temperature patterns along the entire eastern U.S. seaboard and the eastern Great Lakes. They serve particularly well to trace the location and meanders of the Gulf Stream, and to examine the location of anomalous temperature patterns along the coast including large embayments such as the Chesapeake or Delaware Bay. The images may appear somewhat distorted spatially relative to typical maps, since the coast appears wider than taller. This distortion is the result of compressing the image into a 512x512 pixel area to contain the entire U.S. east coast. From a quantitative point of view, however, there is no effect on the sea surface temperature patterns or values. The archive is arranged by year and month. Links appearing in gray-on-gray text have no data available for that particular month. We offer our images with a Google Earth perspective. |
