Subject: RE: Can you really raise a ship with hot air
About the temperature dropping with depth:

If I remember correctly, quite close under the surface the temperature of roughly 4° Celsius is reached. From there on the temperature does NOT fall any further.

(at roughly 4°Celsius water has its smallest volume - that is why ice cubes are swimming in water...)
