And the high seawater temperature does place limits on maximum reactor power and high speeds.
The favored explanation for the coral bleaching has been the unusually long period of high seawater temperature last year.
I didn't think about seawater temperature!
In some cases, the method produced overestimates of seawater temperature by about 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
At the top of every hour, the bridge calls down to the Engineering Control Center to record the seawater temperature from an engine room gauge.
"It is likely that corals will experience a major decline due to increased bleaching and mortality due to rising seawater temperatures."
The seawater temperature was 36 degrees!
"The best possible hypothesis," he said, "is unusually high seawater temperatures."
The latest time series analyses of seawater temperatures say the same as what we have known about air temperatures for a long time.
The ratio of these species depends on factors such as seawater temperature and alkalinity (as shown in a Bjerrum plot).
