Why do scientists measure sea surface temperature?

Sea surface temperature provides fundamental information on the global climate system. Because the ocean covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface, scientists record sea surface temperature (SST) to understand how the ocean communicates with Earth’s atmosphere. SST provides fundamental information on the global climate system. SST is an essential parameter in weather prediction and atmospheric model simulations, and is also important for the study of marine ecosystems.
