The sea surface skin temperature (SST skin), or ocean skin temperature, is the temperature of the sea surface as determined through its infrared spectrum (3.7–12 μm) and represents the temperature of the sublayer of water at a depth of 10–20 μm. [1]
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.

Scientists are running out of extreme adjectives to describe the state of the world’s oceans.
Sea surface temperatures have broken records every day for a year, puzzling scientists. The warm water could significantly affect hurricanes and other weather. 12 months of record ocean heat has ...
A map of sea surface temperatures across the world. Yellow, orange and red represent areas where water is warmer than historical averages, and blue represents areas where water is cooler than ...
The Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is a 14,000-acre (57 km 2) wildlife preserve operated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.It is primarily located on the Virginia half of Assateague Island with portions (only about 3%) located on the Maryland side of the island, as well as Morris Island and Wildcat Marsh.
NOAA projections show how much higher sea surface temperatures off Florida currently are, with some reaching 3 degrees Celsius, or about 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
