You've probably been to the beach. You've probably noticed that closer to the shore the water is warmer than at the bottom. Let's take a closer look at the temperature of the SEA WATER<\/a>how it affects life in the water.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE SEA WATER TEMPERATURE<\/h2>\n

Sea water temperature is not a fixed value. It varies according to the area and, very importantly, according to the time of the year. On the website of the AEMET<\/a>You can see the temperature values in real time, by geographical area. They have also carried out<\/p>\n

MEDITERRANEAN SEA TEMPERATURE<\/h2>\n

Within the Mediterranean Sea, you can see the temperature of the sea water, depending on the exact beach you are on. You can therefore see the Barcelona sea surface temperature<\/strong>the water temperature in Valencia. <\/strong>This website allows you to see the seawater results in real time, or \"right now\". You can also see a history by zones.<\/p>\n

MEASURING SEAWATER TEMPERATURE<\/h2>\n

When we talk about seawater temperature, we are talking about surface water (which is what we ultimately get to see, or where we get to be). Deep ocean waters have temperatures of 3\u00b0C and a higher density than the surface. In the gulf stream<\/a>The upward\/downward circulation of ocean water is explained.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

HOW TO MEASURE SEAWATER TEMPERATURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are several ways to measure seawater temperature. The one we are talking about here is surface water temperature<\/strong>The depth of the water is measured either by boat or at fixed buoys. It is measured either by boats or fixed buoys. The measurement technique with fixed buoys is a very exact and repetitive system, as the position and depth is always the same. Another method of measurement, which is becoming more and more common, is via satellite, using surface radiation. This method, although it has certain inaccuracies, as it is measuring the sea layer, 0.1mm, is very useful as it allows a much larger surface area to be covered. For example, to cover the area covered by a satellite in 2 minutes, a ship at 20 km\/h would need 10 years.<\/p>\n

The project Argo<\/a>\u00a0is an ocean measurement project. 3800 floats have been placed around the ocean to take real-time measurements of the ocean's temperature and salinity (the layer within the first 2000 metres).<\/p>\n

We will use 1 thermometer<\/strong> and measured at 180m from the coast, (we can distinguish them as this is where the yellow buoys are located approximately), and at a depth of 1 metre.<\/p>\n

SPECIFIC HEAT OF SEAWATER<\/h2>\n

Water has a high specific heat. The specific heat is the amount of heat that must be supplied to raise 1 gram of water by 1\u00b0C. The specific heat of water is 1 calorie\/gram \u00b0C = 4.186 joules\/gram \u00b0C. This is a higher value than most substances.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its high specific heat, the sea is a great regulator of temperature. That is why, for example in the Mediterranean, neither the temperature rises too much in summer, nor falls too much in winter. It is the water, with its high specific heat, that is absorbing heat (raising its temperature), and releasing heat in winter when the temperature drops.<\/p>\n
