Why is Sea Surface Temperature important?SST has a substantial influence on the weather that we experience and the Earth’s climate system. SST also provides an indication of what the conditions are like for life in the upper reaches of the ocean. What is unique about this tool?SEACOOS collects SST from many different sources to improve spatial and temporal coverage for a more comprehensive view of the ocean surface.
