Temperature anomalies in the Pacific

Via Facebook (from Sam Carana)

Part of the Arctic Ocean was hit by an 18+°C anomaly during the week from December 16 to December 22, 2013. On some days that week, anomalies of 20+°C were recorded over an even larger part of the Arctic Ocean. These anomalies show how a number of feedbacks can interact and contribute to huge warming peaks in the Arctic Ocean, such as methane releases and changes to the Jet Stream.
