An Investigation of the Southern Ocean Surface Temperature Variability Using Long-Term Optimum Interpolation SST Data
Figure 8
A 30-year trend analysis of surface temperature anomalies over four different sectors of the Southern Ocean summer month of February over four different sectors of (a) Amundsen-Bellingshausen Seas, (b) Ross Sea, (c) Weddell Sea, and (d) Indian Ocean sectors. ABS and Indian Ocean sectors are showing positive trends at per year rate of °C. However, negative trends of −°C/yr and −°C/yr have been computed over Ross Sea and Weddell Sea sectors, respectively.
