(Every day's calculated ocean temperature anomaly from September 1, 1981 to September 2, 2023. Publicly available data provided by NOAA, parsed by their 'THREDDS' program & visualized by their GODIVA2 browser: each day is a separate image (try as I might, I could not get their 'animate' button to work for me, so of course I did what anyone would do: download all fifteen thousand two hundred ninety images.*)
Gold represents no deviation from the mean, with darkening blues for down to 10° C below & brightening reds glowing up to 10° C above it.
Comparison to youtube.com/watch?v=-NskAtk3tQk:
I do not see the same creepy 2023 pattern variation that arose when I animated with screenshots from Earth.nullschool.net. Nor did I see any weird 'granularity' beginning around 2020 & going up till then. So the other weirdness might well be a product of faulty or cascading effects in sensing equipment.
