Abstract: | The results of investigations into the spatial variability of the Atlantic Ocean surface temperature field on interannual scales are presented. The analysis is based on monthly mean satellite data of the AVHRR Pathfinder Data JPL NOAA/NASA over 1985–2001. Specific features of the structure of the sea surface temperature (SST) fields averaged over 17 years, as well as fields of the gradient and variance of the SST time series, are described for each node of the data grid. It is shown with the use of the rhythmodynamic approach that spatial heat waves exist in the interannual variability of the SST field in two directions: zonal and meridional. |
