Full 365-day animation of Atlantic ocean currents cooling and warming, seasonal temperature changes, and tropical systems leaving trails in the ocean!

Every year the Atlantic ocean undergoes many changes in surface temperatures, both up and down! We decided to do a high-resolution animation of these yearly changes.

Below is a temperature analysis for September 4th, when Dorian moved out of the Bahamas, leaving behind a trail of noticeably cooler waters.

Another tropical system leaving a trail in the east Atlantic was hurricane Lorenzo.

Also noticed in the animation are fast waves of warming and cooling water, especially in the North Atlantic.

Most noticeable are warmings, as the strong south winds pull warmer air and water from south up towards Europe as it passes the Atlantic ocean.

The first graphic shows the low-pressure system in the North Atlantic on June 1st. The second graphic shows the temperature change after the passing of this system, as it pulled warmer air from the south towards Europe.

We will keep you updated on any important further development regarding the changes in global ocean temperatures and currents.
