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 .
Skrova lighthouse on an island near Svolvær has the longest recording of air temperature in Lofoten. The warmest temperature recorded is 30.4 °C (86.7 °F) in June 1972. The coldest temperature recorded is −15.1 °C (4.8 °F) in February 1966. The last overnight freeze in June was in 1962, and the last freeze in September was in 1986.
Mean sea level anomaly (SLA) in the Lofoten Basin during July 2000, with the mean currents also displayed as a quiver plot.The Lofoten Vortex is detectable as a bright spot of positive relative SLA between 3-5°E and 70°N, surrounded by anticyclonic swirling arrows. [1] [2] The Lofoten Vortex has two surface features that are useful for its ...
Regions where oceanic or subtropical highland climates (Cfb, Cfc, Cwb, Cwc) are found. An oceanic climate, also known as a marine climate or maritime climate, is the temperate climate sub-type in Köppen classification represented as Cfb, typical of west coasts in higher middle latitudes of continents, generally featuring cool to warm summers and cool to mild winters (for their latitude), with ...

Moskstraumen is created as a result of a combination of several factors, including tides, strong local winds, position of the Lofoten and the underwater topography; unlike most other major maelstroms, such as Saltstraumen, Gulf of Corryvreckan, Naruto whirlpools, Old Sow whirlpool, and Skookumchuck Narrows, it is located in the open sea rather ...
