Surface+Water+and+Ocean+Temperature

The Surface Water is water that is always moving around through and above Earth. It can travel as water vapor, liquid water, and ice because it is constantly changing its form. Since it moves, and mixes, so much it distributes heat downward to about 100 to 300 m.This zone’s temperature is mostly the same and decreases only when depth increases. The temperature of surface water does, however, decrease as latitude increase. This means that polar surface waters are much cooler than the surface waters in the Tropics. The greatest amount of solar energy that reaches the surface of the ocean is found at the equator rather than in areas near the North and South Poles. Common temperatures in tropical waters are about 30°C. However, surface temperatures in polar oceans can be as low as -1.9°C because of this, and because ocean water freezes at about -1.9°C, a large amount of sea ice exists in polar oceans. In the middle latitudes, the ocean surface temperature is different and depends on the seasons. In other areas, mainly between summer and winter, ocean surface temperatures may be different by 10°C to 20°C.
