Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well.

The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Nha Trang because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth.

Data source and citation

Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Nha Trang comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.

The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.
