ROFFS™ has observed what appears to be the first significant upwelling along the Florida east coast. The cooler (78°F) water is seen between Jupiter Inlet and Port St. Lucie Inlet is shown with green in the false color enhanced image. Between Ft. Pierce and Wabasso the sea surface temperature (SST) appears to be 81°F. At the tip of Cape Canaveral the SST is 80°F. Note that the water north of Ponce Inlet is still warm 84°F-85°F. There are clouds that look like cold water along the west coast of Florida and in Florida Bay.
