Episode Synopsis "Sea surface temperature, the measurement of ocean emotion"

Sea surface temperature is an important aspect of seasonal forecasting, so in this episode we talked to Helen Beggs, Senior Research Scientist at the Bureau of Meteorology, about the history and use of sea surface temperature data. In each edition of The Fast Break and Very Fast Break, the latest sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly map is discussed and the reason behind that is explained in this podcast episode. To learn more about sea surface temperature data, you can check out this eLearn or you can visit the Australian Ocean Data Network. You can sign up for The Fast Break and Very Fast Break on the Agriculture Victoria website. Please get in touch with any further questions or feedback at [email protected].
