Regionally Averaged Seasonal Cycles and Monthly Trends

Caption

Temperature trends (in degrees Celsius per decade) for the recent 33-year period (1982-2014) in each month, averaged over the surface waters of the Mid-Atlantic (MAB), Gulf of Maine (GOM) and Scotian Shelf (SS). While all months show increasing temperature trends, these data show the large seasonal difference in when, during the year, the largest changes are taking place.
