This image shows the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) as measured by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 6 July 2021 over the southern part of the Baltic Sea.

Summary edit

Description
English: This image shows the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) as measured by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 6 July 2021 over the southern part of the Baltic Sea. The multiple heatwaves ongoing in northern Europe are having severe consequences on the environment at high latitudes, and in particular in the Baltic Sea area. In addition to the numerous air temperature records broken, the SST reached values close to those of tropical waters. As shown in this image, the Sea Surface Temperature reached values above 25°C along the coasts of Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. As reported by the Danish Meteorologic Institute, these data represent an SST thermal anomaly of approximately +4°C with respect to the 1985 - 2001 reference period. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites are equipped with the SLSTR Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer which enables to retrieve SST data. Sea Surface Temperature data are used as an input for weather and ocean forecasting to observe and monitor ocean current systems, marine ecosystems etc.
