Hurricanes change temperature of sea surface

Sea-surface temperature anomalies reveal cold-water wakes trailing behind the Kilo, Ignacio and Jimena hurricanes, highlighting the power these winds have in stirring the upper ocean and bringing cooler deep waters to the ocean surface. Air–sea interaction on this scale has implications for modelling teams at hurricane forecasting centres and for ocean forecasting systems such as the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service.
