Hi all, I've been looking for a map or indication of the sea floor
temperature around Australia, in particular off the North West coast of
Western Australia.

Even an idea of the temp gradient would be excellent. Any and all help
would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
James

Not a map as such but you can get the data from

https://128.160.23.42/gdemv/gdemv.html

In the past I've used the gradients given from the above to create a
temperature-depth function for an area and thus back-out an approximate
sea floor temperature map.

Cheers

Thank you so much, I would never have found that myself, and it is
precisely what I was after!

Cheers!
