The data below are showing you "sea surface temperature anomalies." This means that the colored images are showing you warmer and cooler than normal temperatures, not a specific temperature. You may pause from time to time to familiarize yourself with what is above normal and what is below normal.

The data below cover the years 1981 to 1996. The date is presented in the upper left corner and is coded as follows: year, month. For example: 837 is July, 1983. One exception to this pattern is any data from October, which is presented as month "99." This means that October 1986 looks like this: 8699. This was done to insure that the program would read the images in proper sequence.
