Hovmöller sections

We present herebelow time‐latitude Hovmöller diagrams of Satellite SSS (CCI-L4-ESA-MERGED-OI-V1.8-30DAY-RUNNING), AVISO SLA, AVHRR SST, and Chlorophyll-A (from Globcolour) along 2 zonal transects at longitude 65°W and 50°W which are at two key position of the Gulf-stream weastward flow. The user can visualize the results for the different years using the menu below:
