Tip, that blacl dot is the Loop Current which NOAA all but ignores.
But how about the huge divergence for the coastline?
The Navy has it very warm and NOAA has it very cool,
Oh, I see the issue... It depends on your point of view but I suggest they are peering at the same actual temperature. What is distracting, perhaps only appearing erroneous is that the coloring is set to different temperature scales per respective source. For example, the cut off between the cyan color and the blue (NOAA) is around 50kj/cm^2, where as the cut off between cyan and blue on the Navy site is down around 10. That is why the near shore water temps are much cooler in appearance on the NOAA site.
Any thoughts?
