Warm sea air is essential for tropical storms and hurricanes because it provides the heat and moisture needed to fuel these systems. As warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure area that draws in more air, enhancing wind speeds and storm development. The warm sea surface temperatures facilitate evaporation, adding moisture to the atmosphere, which contributes to the storm's intensity. Without warm sea air, these weather systems would lack the energy necessary for formation and growth.
Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
In a local sea breeze, the circular motions of air are typically referred to as "convection currents." These currents occur when the land heats up more quickly than the water, causing warm air over the land to rise and create a low-pressure area. Cooler air from the sea then moves in to replace the rising warm air, creating a loop of air movement. This process contributes to the characteristic cooling effect of sea breezes in coastal areas.
Sea otters do not have a blubber layer but rely on their thick fur to keep them warm. Their fur traps air bubbles to provide insulation, helping them stay warm in cold waters and also assisting in buoyancy to help them float.

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. In warm weather, there is increased evaporation of sea water.
Maritime Equatorial Air Mass (mE) originate over warm sea water. Maritime Tropical (mT) also originates over the warm sea waters.
Air trapped in their fur keeps them warm
Cool air blows inland from over the water and moves underneath the warm air, causing a sea breeze.
It is an on-shore breeze.
Warm sea air can provide a food source for various organisms such as phytoplankton, which use sunlight to convert its energy into food through photosynthesis. Zooplankton and other small marine animals feed on phytoplankton, forming the base of the marine food chain. Additionally, certain species of fish and seabirds rely on warm sea air for thermals that help them stay in flight for longer periods of time.
It refers to a gentle current of warm air in dry weather blowing from the sea and over the land

They curl up in a ball and sink to the bottom of the sea to keep warm. The sea bottom is really warm so that is what they do ! They do not do that because they must come to the surface for air!
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
The fuel will be the same no matter what ocean or sea the hurricane is over: warm moist air with the moisture provided by warm ocean water.
