A wet-bulb temperature at 500 hPa in a tropical atmosphere of −13.2 °C (8.2 °F) is required to initiate convection if the water temperature is 26.5 °C (79.7 °F), and this temperature requirement increases or decreases proportionally by 1 °C in the sea surface temperature for each 1 °C change at 500 hpa.
The Papenoʻo (Papenoo) River is a river on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia. The river rises in the mountains of Tahiti east of the town center of Papeete and ends on the coast of Tahiti near Papenoo. It is about 32 km (20 mi) long and is about 3.0 m (10 ft) wide at the mouth. All the water ends in the Pacific Ocean.
The ocean temperature plays a crucial role in the global climate system, ocean currents and for marine habitats. It varies depending on depth, geographical location and season. Not only does the temperature differ in seawater, so does the salinity. Warm surface water is generally saltier than the cooler deep or polar waters. [1]
