Merged Data.
This image was created by combining channel 2 land with
sea surface temperature for the Gulf of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico.
Strong winds blowing south through a mountain pass blows the warm
surface water away from the shore
bringing up the cold subsurface water. This feature is called a
supersquirt and is more prominent in the winter.
A shaded relief map
shows the mountains and the pass.
