The coldest ocean water is about -2 degree celsius, which occurs at the surface of higher latitude region. At north atlantic ocean and antarctic ocean, these waters will sink, forming deep water that drives the deep ocean circulation. The coldest deep ocean water is at Antarctic, which is about 0 degree celsius. So far, there have been no observations showing the temperature of a water mass drop too far below -2. All the best Xiaodong
