Shore stations program data figures into this look at how climate change is changing how scientists do their jobs during an extraordinary weather year.

Another sea-surface temperature record was broken today, August 8. Scripps scientists with ShoreStation100 measured a water temp of 79.2°F (26.3°C) at the end of Scripps Pier.

Another day, another record. Sea-surface temperatures at Scripps Pier reached 78.8 °F today, breaking Wednesday’s reading of 78.6 °F as the highest ever recorded in more than a century of data collection. ShoreStation100

The record for warmest sea-surface temperature at Scripps Pier since records began in 1916 has been broken. The record of 25.9℃ (78.6 ℉) surpassed the previous record of 78.4°F (25.8°C) set on July 30, 1931. UC San Diego University of California

Warm water trend continues at Scripps Pier. Ocean bottom temps at end of pier for 7/25, 7/26, and 7/28 - which was 24.4 deg C (75.9 deg F) - are all record high temps for their respective dates.

For 5th time this year, the ocean bottom temperature at the tip of Scripps Pier has broken a daily record. Today's 24.3 deg C (75.74 deg F) temp the highest for this date since 1925. The 24.7 deg C (76.46 deg F) at the surface third warmest in 102 years. scripps.ucsd.edu/programs/shore…
