water temp discrepancy

woody with a view - 4-24-2012 at 06:36 AM

check out these two sites and you'll see a 6-10 degree temperature difference in the gulf around BOLA. anyone know which site has the most accurate satellite? not that it REALLY matters but there is a difference. i'll know on sunday either way when i dip my big toe in the bay!. i'm hoping the YT are hungry....

Terrafin has been closer in temp for me. I live in Mulege

Tempbreak is showing the 8-day composite; Terafin is only showing the one day....That might be the reason. :?:

Unfortunately the 1 and 3 day composites for Tempbreak are spotty.

Time of day the individual spot readings are taken may be a cause too

With Terrafin, which has the most current, up to date Satellite shots, you need to take the time into account. During the day, with solar energy, the difference between morning and afternoon will be higher than 6-8 degrees.
