[Quick Report] Global sea surface temperature in July 2024 observed by AMSR2

The global monthly average of sea surface temperature has been continuously high since 2023 compared with previous years (Fig. 1). Such anomalously warm conditions were observed in mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, such as around Japan (Fig. 2). JAXA will continue monitoring oceanic variations (AMSR Earth Environment Viewer).
