Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees
Like a hot tub: Water temperatures off Florida soar over 100 degrees
On Monday, a buoy near Manatee Bay recorded an astounding 101.1 degree water temperature, a temperature common for hot tubs.

I provide evidence and you give your opinion. Essentially you brought a knife to a gun fight and are bitching about how it made no sense you lost.

Okay. You can provide article after article but unless you can help me understand why temperatures 10 feet below the ocean can show near scalding levels i dont care to entertain your rebuttals. Really, this is your opportunity to help me understand.
Provide proof on your take first. Otherwise I will consider you dead on the floor, so unable to offer any knowledge whatsoever.
So i went and looked for it myself since you didnt want to. I found that bouys measure the epipelagical zone which has a usual and average temperature due to several factors (mainly wind and mixing currents). Temperatures usually have a steep decline in temperature when it reaches the thermocline which is what i was referring to earlier. This thermocline actually drops in the summer meaning the epilagical zone has more depth but is generally already lower in costal areas. Here, its not unusual for waters to be between 90F to 104F in the summer. If you want to know more, just google "Surface Sea Temperature In-Situ Methodology".
So there i didnt your homework for you and i proved myself wrong. Its likely not an error but a usual occurance(maybe even a bit higher than normal).
