Warmer ocean surface water would most likely be found near ___.

The warm ocean water is usually found near the top surface of the ocean. The sun makes the surface of the ocean warm and thus heat up its water. This heat is later mixed by the winds and sea waves from top to beneath the ocean surface. The temperature of the surface is usually warmer than the water at depths as it does not receive sun light. The average ocean temperature at the surface is 17 degree Celsius while at greater depth the temperature falls down to 0 to (-3) degree Celsius
