the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer<br />
sensors on board Sentinel-3A and -3B, captured<br />
an hour apart on 22 December 2021, over the Great<br />
Barrier Reef<br />
Below: Sea surface temperature anomaly in the<br />
Mediterranean over the first 20 days of August <strong>2022</strong><br />
as measured by the AVHRR instrument on board<br />
<strong>EUMETSAT</strong>’s Metop-B satellite. These anomalies are<br />
calculated by subtracting the climatological mean of<br />
August over the period 1985-2007 from the mean<br />
over the first 20 days of August <strong>2022</strong>. Credit: OSI SAF<br />
