The West Florida Shelf satellite images have dimensions of
512x512 pixels at a spatial resolution of 1.4 km x 1.5 km, covering the area 24° N
- 30.5° N and 87.5° W - 80.5° W. These images are useful to examine the details of sea surface temperature patterns off the western coasts of Florida and over the West Florida Shelf. They serve particularly well to examine the proximity of the Gulf of Mexico's Loop Current and eddies it may have shed to the shelf. These images help examine the seasonal development of cold patches due to upwelling along the western and northern coasts of Florida, such as upwelling associated with the cold tongue which forms off the panhandle and follows along the shelf break. The images also show temperatures in Florida Bay and in the Florida Keys. 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. |
