We have developed a method
for Objective Analysis of SST in the Gulf of Maine region. The results are
smooth daily maps of SST from either the 9km or 4km NOAA SST data
products. RMS error for 1996
and 1997, 9km gridded data are shown here. The process is assumed to be
stationary once a mean seasonal cycle is removed. This assumption is clearly
violated in the gulf stream region. We can examine the time series at each
point. Three examples are marked on the figure, in the shelf break, Georges
Bank, and the Gulf of Maine.
