####################MONTHLY SST ANOMALY MAP
The map of Global OI.v2 SST anomalies for October 2009 downloaded from the NOMADS website is shown below.
October 2009 SST Anomalies Map (Global SST Anomaly = +0.275 deg C)
MONTHLY OVERVIEW
Global SST anomalies rose 0.047 deg C between September and October, with all but the Arctic and Southern Oceans showing increases. The equatorial Pacific is now showing signs of moderate El Nino conditions (Monthly NINO3.4 SST Anomaly = +1.04 deg C and Weekly NINO3.4 SST Anomaly = +1.66 deg C). Monthly NINO3.4 SST anomalies rose +0.208 in October, while the weekly data shows NINO3.4 SST anomalies have been increasing rapidly over the past few weeks.
