Map Of Ocean Temperatures. Map of surface temperatures of the oceans and seas of the world On a smaller scale, ocean temperatures influence the development of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons), which draw energy from warm ocean waters to form and intensify White and orange areas show where surface temperatures are higher than 80°F, warm enough to fuel tropical.

These sea surface temperature maps are based on observations by the MODIS sensors on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites The region with the lowest average ocean temperatures is typically the Arctic Ocean, which is located at high latitudes and covered in ice for much of the year
NASA SVS Global Sea Surface Temperature with Land Vegetation
The darkest blue shows the coldest water: floating sea ice is usually present in these areas Africa Asia Aus & Pacific Europe Latin America N America S America Mid East. What's the temperature of water at the ocean's surface? Colors on the map show the temperature of water right at the ocean's surface
Ocean Temperatures Around The World. During the summer, when the ice melts, the sea's temperature remains relatively low due to the influx of cold freshwater from melting ice and the lack of direct sunlight in the region. These sea surface temperature maps are based on observations by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Aqua satellite
