Typically, Saharan dust has the effect of scattering solar radiation back into space before it reaches the ocean surface. The lack of vertical mixing in the ocean may have contributed to the rapid increase in the sea surface temperatures, while the reduction in Saharan dust over the North Atlantic also reinforced the increasing temperatures. Lower wind speeds also weaken the upwelling of deeper, colder water along the Canary current, an ocean current flowing southward along the coast of West Africa and then westward into the North Atlantic near the Cape Verde islands.Ī further consequence of weaker surface winds is a reduction in the movement of Saharan dust westward over the north Atlantic. Surface wind speeds are closely linked to sea surface temperatures because reduced wind speeds lead to a reduction in the mixing of surface water with the cooler water below, allowing the sea surface temperatures to increase. Before June 2023, the earliest such temperatures have been observed in the ERA5 data record, shown below since 1979, is towards the end of July. While absolute temperatures do reach higher values in the region during the summer, the average temperatures observed last month are more typical of later in the summer. Temperatures in the northeastern Atlantic climbed steadily from the end of May, peaking on 21 June at around 1.6☌ above average, as shown in the Daily SST Anomalies chart below. Credit: Copernicus Climate Change Service/ECMWF. Sea surface temperature anomalies (☌) averaged over the northeastern Atlantic region for the month of June from 1979 to 2023. The anomalous warmth is particularly striking in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, at 1.36☌ above average for the month as a whole, as shown in the chart below. This is around 0.5☌ more than the previous warmest June, recorded in 2010. The Collector's Edition and Print Edition are only available at ClarkLittle.Average sea surface temperatures for June 2023 across the north Atlantic were the warmest in the ERA5** record for the time of year by a very large margin, at 0.91☌ above average.

Signed books are available with an exclusive set of prints offered only at and Clark Little Gallery Haleiwa. With a foreword by eleven-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and an afterword by the author on his photographic practice and technique, Clark Little: The Art of Waves offers a rare view of the wave for us to enjoy from the safety of land. Journalist Jamie Brisick contributes essays on how Clark gets the shot, how waves are created, swimming with sharks, and more. Many of the photos are from the North Shore of Oahu, with additional pictures from the outer Hawaiian Islands (Maui, Kauai and Big Island), California (Newport, Laguna and Malibu), French Polynesia, Tonga, and the Galapagos Islands. This collection features his most beloved pictures, as well as work that has never been published in book form, with Little's stories and insights throughout. Thanks to his uncanny ability to get the perfect shot-and live to share it-Little has garnered a devout audience, been the subject of award-winning documentaries, and become one of the world's most recognizable wave photographers.Ĭlark Little: The Art of Waves compiles over 150 of his images, including crystalline breaking waves, the diverse marine life of Hawaii, and mind-blowing aerial photography. "Clark's view" is a rare and dangerous perspective of waves from the inside out. Surfer and photographer Clark Little creates deceptively peaceful pictures of waves by placing himself under the deadly lip as it is about to hit the sand. Published by Ten Speed Press (a Penguin Random House imprint), this is Clark's first book to be released across the US and all over the world. It’s really crazy to see where things have come.Īward-winning wave photographer Clark Little shares his most remarkable photographs from inside waves, with a foreword by world surfing champion Kelly Slater. This book captures the adventure and all of my favorite shots since that fateful day. It's been 15 years since I picked up a camera and took it into the ocean to get a picture of a wave for my bedroom wall–a special request from my wife.
