What is the exact temperature of the arctic ocean?

Answer 1

The Artic is very cold. Average winter temperatures can be as low as −40 °C (−40 °F), and the coldest recorded temperature is approximately −68 °C (−90 °F).
In January and February, the average temperature up there hovers around a numbing -29°F / -34°C.

The temperature averages below freezing year-round, with an average annual temperature of only -14°C / 7°F.

If you think you could bask in the summer sunshine, forget it. Summer highs average only -1.5°C / 29°F!

The lowest world temperature in inhabited areas was recorded in the Arctic. The thermometers plunged to -90.4°F / -68°C in both Oymyakon, Siberia (Feb. 6, 1933) and Verkhoyansk, Siberia (Jan. 3, 1885).

The lowest world temperature for anywhere, however, was -128.6°F / -89.2°C recorded at Vostok Station (Picture: Right), Antarctica on July 21, 1983 - and that doesn't include wind chill!

Although the Arctic is known as a cold place, Fort Yukon, Alaska has recorded an extreme high temperature of 100°F / 37°C, while Verkhoyansk (which shares the record for the coldest place in the northern hemisphere) has recorded a high of 94°F / 34°C. That's quite a temperature spread!
The Arctic varies in temperature during the year just like any place else on earth. How much the temperature varies depends on where in the Arctic you are (it's a very big area, and some areas are colder or windier than others). I've been a guide in the Arctic year round for several years now, and I've heard of temperatures as low as -78 degrees Fahrenheit (without any kind of wind-chill added in), and during the summer it can be in the +90's. One place even recorded a high of 102 degrees Fahrenheit!

The thing about the Arctic is its unpredictable nature. It can be in the 80's in July, and then just fifteen miles down the road it abruptly drops into the 30's and starts snowing, then an hour later it warms up again. On the whole, however, the Arctic is "too cold" in the winter and warm in the summer months.

Answer 2

The ocean is contained in a polar climate characterized by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges. Winters are characterized by continuous darkness, cold and stable weather conditions, and clear skies; summers are characterized by continuous daylight, damp and foggy weather, and weak cyclones with rain or snow. The temperature of the surface of the Arctic Ocean is fairly constant, near the freezing point of seawater, slightly below zero degrees Celsius. In the winter the relatively warm ocean water exerts a moderating influence, even when covered by ice. This is one reason why the Arctic does not experience the extremes of temperature seen on the Antarctic continent. There is considerable seasonal variation in how much pack ice covers the Arctic Ocean. Much of the ocean is also covered in snow for about 10 months of the year. The maximum snow cover is in March or April

Answer 3

it is a little lower the freezing point of water 0 degrees

Answer 4

Impossible to answer... since the temperature fluctuates depending on the time of year, and weather conditions.

Answer 5

0 degrees
