Sea surface temperature
Is the is the water temperature close to the surface.

These charts display the temperature of the water at the sea surface.

Direct observation
was how this data was traditionally gathered (ie. using a thermometer!) with buoys and weather ships.

Remote sensing with satellites
is how most temperature data is measured these days. The area a satellite scans in two minutes would take a ship travelling at 10 knots 10 years to cover.
