Abstract: This study presents an analysis of water temperature data from the Maltese Islands in the southern Mediterranean, using moorings equipped with temperature loggers at various depths. This research aims to explore thermocline formation, shifts in peak temperatures, and the varying response times at different depths, which may provide insights into the effects of climate change. The data collected hourly from 2019 through mid-2022, and averaged into daily values, not only highlights short-term fluctuations but also reveals significant long-term trends in sea temperature. The findings underscore the importance of continuous and precise temperature monitoring to better understand and predict future climatic changes in marine environments.
