It must be the clear weather on Thursday. We have the first satellite image for sea surface temperature (SST) from MODIS. The image is a 24-hour composite, taken from the global blended SST product from my group, see http://sst.jpl.nasa.gov. A lot of gaps with noisy features, mostly due to the patchy clouds I believe. I also attach the daily mean ROMS SST, which shows very encouraging agreement between the two, at least in the eastern side of the sound, where we have most of our data collected during the FE. There are some really cold waters in the western sound and outside the MS where ROMS shows a warm bias there, maybe these are the cold glacier waters that we missed in the model and we don't much in situ data there as well! Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
