Summary: | The monthly historical means of sea surface temperature in one-degree latitude/longitude squares along a line from Eleuthera to Bermuda are presented. The discrete data sets representing monthly average sea surface temperatures have been filtered by Fourier series expansion and found to be closely approximated by a continuous function comprised of a constant plus a single weighted cosine of frequency one cycle per year. The one cycle per year temperature variations for the various locations were determined to synchronous and to comprise 97% or greater of the total data variance in any given one-degree square. |
