It may sparkle in the sun, but the ocean's surface is a dynamic thermometer for our planet. The sea surface temperature (SST) is measured by satellites and buoys in the ocean, to give the most ...

Claims that climate change is natural are inconsistent with new oceanic temperature trends. New oceanic research provides clear evidence of a human "fingerprint" on climate change and shows that ...

Ocean temperatures set a record high in 2025, according to a new study. The authors found that the heat content of the ocean increased by about 23 zettajoules between 2024 and 2025. That’s roughly the ...

Average temperatures across the world’s oceans reached an all-time high in 2024, according to a multi-team study published Jan. 10. The temperatures surpassed even those of 2023, which themselves ...

The temperature of ocean water (at a depth of five feet) off the coast of Florida reached above 100°F for multiple hours. A reading that close to land can be contaminated by organic matter or land ...
