Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental parameter in understanding climate dynamics, ocean circulation and air–sea interactions. Advances in remote sensing techniques have considerably enhanced ...

The year 2025 was the warmest on record for the heat content of the world’s oceans. Ocean heat content (OHC) increased by around 500 zettajoules – billion trillion joules – since the 1940s.

Sea temperatures in the Persian Gulf have soared to nearly 100 F, just short of the Earth's record high. NASA data revealed that the surface of the water between Iran and the Arab Peninsula hit a mind ...
