I have a goal of adding one new visual per day at zacklabe.com/united-state..., and this one was particularly eye-opening - sea surface temperatures averaged by year for the Caribbean... 🌀🌊 Data from @noaa.gov OISSTv2.1 (downloads.psl.noaa.gov/Datasets/noa...).
Seems to be trending upward.
Incredible work Zack! Retired weather guy here that worked in evaluation/data analysis and the presentation is top notch. Good to see the younger generation doing great work. Best of luck in your career.
Thank you! :)
the dotted line suggests a linear trend. Perhaps reconsider 😪
Bluesky needs a sad button. ☹️
Don't think so. The trolls would love that button...
Overlay the length of the uptrend to the bottom of the channel to get a projected target.
Oh my 👀
Considering 2,40 (ca.) of water can hold as much energy as the entire atmosphere (If I am mistaken, please correct me), it is an amazing amount of additional energy just in the top 20 meters of the Caribbean sea. We really need a miracle or Calypso to return 😊
I wonder what YTD 25 looks like (in comparison to YTD 24). I have a feeling it didn’t cool down again.
A major sign that determines humanities fate is coral reef loss. This year 100% of the worlds coral bleeched! Once coral dies the oceans are overheated. A methane gas release 86 times more dense than CO2, creates an Auschwitz gas chamber that suffocates humanity: Natures mercy kill from starvation!
Oof!
