NCDC's Climate Monitoring Branch now produces weekly sea surface temperature anomaly maps from NOAA's optimally interpolated satellite and in-situ dataset. The analysis, which was developed by NCDC's Richard W. Reynolds and Tom M. Smith, is computed at the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). A full description of the method of analysis is available at Optimum Interpolation SST (OISST).
The most recent maps will be added within three days of the end of each week.
