As to calculating a surface temperature, the calculation would have to calculate an average temperature above that of molten rock (before the first rock formed), an average temperature in excess of 100 C (before the first liquid water formed), and all other temperatures in between.

Thus there is convection within the troposphere that (to a first approximation) tends to sustain some lapse rate profile within the layer — that itself can vary as a function of climate (and height, location, time), but given any relative temperature distribution within the layer (including horizontal and temporal variations and relationship to variable CSD contributors (water vapor, clouds)-RRB-, the temperature of the whole layer must shift to balance radiative fluxes into and out of the layer (in the global time averae, and in the approximation of zero global time average convection above the troposphere), producing a PRt2 (in the global time average) equal to RFt2.

It is worth mentioning that the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean has its water temperatures slightly above average.

While the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico is recently about 4º F above average, a review of major Gulf hurricanes between 1870 and 2010 by meteorologist Roy Spencer at the University of Alabama in Huntsville revealed that they occurred with equal frequency both when conditions were below and above average.

As the event developed, water temperatures rose across the basin to levels well above normal (i.e., long - term average condition, Figure 2A) and remained above normal for more than 7 months, resulting in especially severe thermal stress at the northern end of the Lesser Antilles (Figures 1A, S1, S2).

The temperature of the water below the surface remained above - average, as the large area of warmer - than - average subsurface waters continued to move slowly to the east (a downwelling Kelvin wave).

Harvey's rapid intensification from a tropical depression to an 85 - mile - per - hour hurricane in less than 24 hours was due to favorable conditions — warm water and low wind shear [29]-- in the Gulf of Mexico, where sea surface temperatures were up to 2.7 - 7.2 °F (1.5 - 4 °C) above the 1961 - 1990 average.
