Introduction to Indicator

The data presented here are average annual sea-surface temperatures from the NOAA extended reconstructed sea surface temperature data set (ERSST V5) on the Northeast Continental Shelf.

Key Results and Visualizations

Since the 1860’s, the Northeast US shelf sea surface temperature (SST) has exhibited an overall warming trend, with the past decade measuring well above the long term average.

Implications

Long term SST demonstrates that the annual average sea surface temperatures observed during the most recent ten years are well above the historical average dating back to the 1860s.
