Which laws of thermodynamics prevent water from being heated by direct sunlight or warmed by other material in the water that is being heated by the sunlight?
101 seems off, particularly given the difference from the 95.6 degrees measured by the neighboring buoys. Even if it is accurate, the explanation for why it was so different might negate the value of the measurement.
