Detailed explanation-1: -The warm air transfers the heat to the surface of the water bodies and when air is cold the higher temperature of the surface of the water bodies increased the temperature of the atmospheric. Water bodies influence the temperature of the atmosphere by forming water vapor through the evaporation process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus creating a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range.

Detailed explanation-3: -Atmospheric heat transfer occurs at the water’s surface. As heat always flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature, this transfer can go both ways 6. When the air is cold, warm water will transfer energy to the air and cool off.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water temperature plays an important role in almost all USGS water science. Water temperature exerts a major influence on biological activity and growth, has an effect on water chemistry, can influence water quantity measurements, and governs the kinds of organisms that live in water bodies.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is normal for water temperature to be less than air temperature because evaporation takes heat from the water. With lower humidity in the air, evaporation is greater, increasing the temperature difference.
