Want to know how ocean temperatures have changed at coastal stations throughout California?
We have used ‘warming stripe’ graphics to help us visualize how sea surface temperature has changed throughout time at our Shore Stations. Each stripe or bar represents a year and the color represents the ocean temperature relative to the long-term average (anomalies). Blue stripes represent colder years and red warmer years; the darker the color the greater the difference from the long-term average. #ShowYourStripes - The Show Your Stripes campaign was created by Ed Hawkins.
