Abstract
The existing relationship between air and water temperature evolution
allowed some correlations between air-temperature values, as recorded
on the coast areas, and the water temperatures, as recorded over the
continental shelf at the surface and bottom, to be established. The
correlations determined by the least squares method shows a low 
scatte - ring, wich allows the temperatures of sea water to be
predicted. This makes possible an objective characterization of the
temperature of the water masses; moreover, the correlations have a
practical usefulness with regard to the development of the marine
environment activities.
