I beliveve the term you are looking for is hogging. The sprinklers on deck are used to help keep the steel cooler to help compensate for the expansion of the boat in hot sun.

What do they call it when a ships deck/hull flexes from hot days. I have seen them run sprinklers on top of the hatches. Do they typically bend up in the middle or do they sag down. I think there is term to discribe this event.
