Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image illustrates the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly in the Mediterranean and off the Atlantic coasts of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, using data from the Copernicus Marine Service. The visualisation highlights that the SST anomalies reached around +3°C above the reference value on 10 April. These findings echo preliminary data from the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which revealed that the global average Sea Surface Temperature has hit an all-time high (since satellite records began). In particular, the ocean's surface reached a temperature of 21.1°C at the beginning of April, beating the previous high of 21°C set in 2016. This image marks a milestone: it is the 1,000th Image of the Day published by Copernicus. We want to express our gratitude to our readers for their continued interest in, and support of Copernicus.
