Incorrect. While OMT often refers to the average temperature of the surface layer, the specific depth can vary, and 300 meters is not a standard universally applied depth.
Correct. Warmer ocean temperatures can provide more energy, leading to the formation and intensification of tropical cyclones.
Incorrect. Ocean Mean Temperature can vary due to several factors, including seasonal variations.
Correct. As the temperature of seawater increases, it expands, contributing to rising sea levels.
