Ocean Surface Temperatures During Hurricane Beryl

SPORT Sea Surface Temperature (K)
ocean NASA VEDA COG
In plain English

What it measures. Shows how warm the ocean surface was for selected cyclone events, including Hurricane Beryl. Warm seas are the fuel that powers hurricanes, so this reveals the conditions feeding the storm.

How it's made. Made from satellite-derived sea surface temperature measurements processed by NASA's SPoRT Center.

How & where you'd use it. Helps forecasters anticipate where a storm may strengthen as it moves over warm water.
