Real-World Temperature Data From the Gulf of Mexico: Seasonality and Effect of the Loop Current With an Accessible Hands-On Activity by Andrée L. Ramsey, Mary Carla Curran, Amy S. Bower

“…Because ocean temperature influences both the frequency and intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes over the ocean in general, and in the Gulf of Mexico specifically, tracking the position of the meandering Loop Current and its deep-reaching cargo of warm water improves weather prediction, and thus preparation for these extreme storms. In this classroom activity geared for the middle school grade level, students will examine vertical temperature profiles from the Loop Current and surrounding Gulf water collected with autonomous drifting floats to learn about spatial (vertical and horizontal) and seasonal temperature differences in the Gulf. …”
