The CoastWatch Oceanic Front Probability Index measures the probability of sea surface temperature front formation based on data from NOAA's GOES satellites.
<br><br>
Fronts play an important role in upper ocean processes. Fronts can impact ocean fisheries, for example, by influencing the spatial distribution of biological productivity and by controlling the accumulation of marine debris, which serves as a beacon to higher trophic levels.
<br><br>
Probability index is unitless, higher numbers indicate higher probability. <br><br>
Seasonal averages calculated from monthly averages from NOAA Coastwatch ERDDAP server at https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/wms/erdGAtfntmday_LonPM180/index.html |
