Upper Ocean Heat Content Plots

Upper Ocean Heat Content Plots

Shown below are maps made using annual average 0-2000 m ocean heat content anomalies (OHCAs) relative to a 1993-2022 baseline. The maps are Random Forest Regression Ocean Maps (RFROM) trained using in situ ocean temperature profile data with satellite sea surface height (SSH), satellite sea surface temperature (SST), time, latitude, and longitude as predictors. (Lyman and Johnson 2023).
