<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Seafloor Temperature Variation shows the smoothed difference in seafloor temperature between the three warmest and coldest months (degrees C per km). This provides a measure of temperature amplitude through the year to indicate the range of temperature variability benthic and demersal organisms may regularly experience at 250 km resolution. </SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV> |

Because seafloor temperatures are less influenced by seasonal changes than surface waters most variation in temperature is shown near coastlines and other shallow areas.
