These maps look like raw satellite data. Kind of fun to see the difference between real-world data and the "clean" maps they show for public consumption. http://marine.rutgers.edu/mrs/sat_data/?product=sst®ion=gulfmexico¬humbs=0

2. real world data is often rather noisy. |
|
The quality of satellite data depends on all kinds of stuff. Cloud cover, orbital path, etc. Probably more things than I know.

3. I understand that the temperature at which hurricanes develop is 26.5C |

4. Yes, 80F. Hence, my predictions about Katrina (and Rita) |
|
I've also seen 82F. I don't know which is more correct.
Somebody in another forum told me that wind-shear becomes lower in the fall. That's not good news either, since it's one of the main things that can defuse a hurricane.
