Unusual SST Anomaly 1 - South of the Cape of Good Hope

Off the South African Coast, south of the Cape of Good Hope, I encountered an area, Figure 1, with an unusual SST anomaly curve. Refer to Figure 2. Between 1955 and 1962, SSTs rapidly rose more than 1.3 deg C, then dropped 1.0 deg C over the next 10 years.

The Smith and Reynolds SST Posts DOES NOT LIST ALL SST POSTS. I stopped using ERSST.v2 data for SST when NOAA deleted it from NOMADS early in 2009.

Please use the search feature in the upper left-hand corner of the page for posts on specific subjects.

NOTE: I’ve discovered that some of the links to older posts provide blank pages. While it’s possible to access that post by scrolling through the history, that’s time consuming. There’s a quick fix for the problem, so if you run into an absent post, please advise me. Thanks.
