Will the sea surface temperature of the ocean cool as hurricanes draw in their power from the warm waters? When hurricanes form, they draw in the warm ocean waters in order to gain power. Based on this, the sea surface temperature of the ocean will become cooler as the hurricane moves and draws in more warm water. In the data, the temperatures collected are for the first 10 hours of the start of the hurricane. Each hurricane had its own individual starting temperature, that is varied because each hurricane is in a different location, but still off or near the Gulf of Mexico. Since the first 5 hours would not be enough and would not show the change in temperature, the data was recorded in 10 hour intervals. The data collected supports the hypothesis; hurricanes do cool the ocean as they gain their power from the warm ocean currents and as they form. This is shown in the data by the slight change in temperature over the 10 hour intervals. Further studies could include the study of if the amount of the cooling per hurricane is proportional to that hurricane’s strength.
