Sea surface temperature


Title: Sea surface temperature in the Gulf of Sidra

Description:

Sentinel-3's sea surface temperature (colours) and surface currents (black arrows) from 28 April 2017, in the Gulf of Sidra (Mediterranean Sea).

The altimeter derived currents reveal the large scale structure of the circulation, while much finer details are visible on the SST image. The two sets of information may be optimally merged, to obtain high resolution surface currents.
