Main Body
Northern hemisphere has more land mass Contact with ocean. So it's overall higher temperature than southern ocean
4Currents: Warm Currents like Gulf Stream increase temperature while Cold Currents like Canary Current deviate it.
5on shore & offshore winds which either [files] warm ocean waters at coast or removes it affecting temperature.
Horizontal changes (factors)
1=> Salinity: High salinity water is denser so it goes below low Salinity water creating at Current which [mixes] water & affect[s] [temperaturz]
2Cold polar current sinks & warm equatorial current flows towards pole.
3Three layer system & Thermocline :
