What else can I help you with?
What is the ocean surface temperature called?
temperature
What is the temperature in the ocean biome?
The temperature of the ocean is 39 degrees below the surface.
Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?
The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.
Which ocean temperature zone has the warmest temperature?
suface zone and thermocline zone
In which zone is the ocean temperature most effected by the weather?
Surface zoneo
What zone is ocean temperature most affected by weather?
Surface Zone
Which Landsat sensor would best determine the surface temperature of a location at the surface of the Atlantic Ocean?
infrared
What is the primary cause of surface ocean currents?
Wind
Why is the surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?
In order for temperature to change the involved heat has to have some place to go. The water at the bottom of the ocean is surrounded by ground and other water that are already at the same temperature. Where can extra heat go to? At the surface the air transports heat up and away so ocean heat can leak out (or in) to the water.
What is the average temperature of the ocean floor?
The average temperature of the ocean's surface is from 30 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in customary units.
Would you sense reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation when measuring the temperature of the ocean's surface?
If you were to measure reflected radiation then you would be measuring the temperature of the source of light (the sun)! So you need to look at the emmited radiation (measured during the night) to guage the temperature of the ocean's surface.
What are some solutions to lower sea surface temperatures?
Ocean stratification is one of the solutions to lower the sea surface temperature.
