A thermocline is a zone of rapid temperature change with depth in a body of water. It is the boundary between two layers of water that have different temperatures, in a lake, estuary, or an ocean. The thermocline is marked by a dramatic change in...

The layer of water in a large body of water, such as a lake, sea or ocean, which separates a warmer surface layer from a colder deeper layer. The thermal or TEMPERATURE GRADIENT across the thermocline usually exceeds the temperature differential within...

The point of maximum vertical temperature change in a lake or...

The thermocline (sometimes metalimnion) is a layer within a body of water or air where the temperature changes rapidly with...

ABSTRACT A model for the vertical structure of ocean gyres is presented that extends the ideal thermocline theories of Rhines and Young and Luyten et al. to include a cross-layer volume flux associated with geostrophic eddy transfer. A two-and-one-half-layer model is considered that...

Adjustment of the Ventilated Thermocline* ABSTRACT The time dependence of the ventilated thermocline is examined via analytical and numerical means. The original Henderschott model is modified such that the outcrops all occur on the same geopotential surface, rather than at staggered geopotential...
