Sea surface temperature (or ocean surface temperature) is the temperature of ocean water close to the surface. The exact meaning of surface varies in the literature and in practice. It is usually between 1 millimetre (0.04 in) and 20 metres (70 ft) below the sea surface.
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.
This satellite image shows the sea-water temperature variations around the Northern Channel Islands. Temperature ranges are blue = 44–52 °F (7–11 °C), green, yellow = 56–64 °F (13–18 °C), and orange, red = 65–72 °F (18–22 °C). From west to east, the islands are San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and Anacapa.
