Animation of Sea Surface Temperature and Drifter Buoy Movements, Jan. 1990 - Sep. 1996

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Sea surface temperature images (SST) from Advanced High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data from the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites are combined with drifter buoy data to create animations showing buoy movements on the changing SST field. The data are contained on one CDROM in Hobart.
