This map shows the temperatures of Earth's ocean surface. It measures the top millimeter of the ocean's water using instruments on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites.
The satellites use a suite of instruments called the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). These instruments can measure the surface temperature to an accuracy of 0.5° C (0.9° F).
You can see where these satellite are right now on the orbit tracking pages: Aqua and Terra.
