sea temperature
Marine thermal reading
Sea temperature is the warmth or coldness of ocean water, typically measured at the surface or at specified depths.
It varies by location, season, and ocean currents, affecting marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and climate.
Rising sea temperatures serve as a key indicator of global warming: Scientists track sea temperature to monitor climate change.
