SST around Japan

The standard deviation gradually decreases while the mean increases as summer arrives in the northern hemisphere. This highlights one of the key points in time-series data analysis: carefully observing changes in standard deviation and exploring the reasons behind these shifts over time.

The data used comes from SST and SST Anomaly, NOAA Global Coral Bleaching Monitoring, 5km, V.3.1, Monthly, 1985-Present. This map is created with O2 where you can load the various satellite data. This sea surface temperature data will be available soon on O2.

You can create an account directly on O2 to access the data and visualizations.
