WebMay 1, 1999 · Abstract The response of a thermocline gyre to anomalies in surface wind stress forcing and surface buoyancy forcing is investigated in light of planetary wave dynamics, both analytically and numerically. The author’s theory suggests that anomalous Ekman pumping most efficiently generates the non-Doppler-shift mode, which resembles … WebThe thermocline or metalimnion is a zone, often defined as a region, where temperature gradient is at least 1∘C decrease with every 1 m increase in depth.

WebMay 1, 1981 · INTRODUCTION A model of the development of the thermocline in temperate lakes was described by Sundaram et al. (1971) and Sundaram and Rehm (1971, 1973). Their formulation differs from those of previous studies (e.g. Munk and An- derson, 1949) in that the vertical heat flux is allowed to vary with depth. This approach introduces an unsteady ... Webthermocline, oceanic water layer in which water temperature decreases rapidly with increasing depth. A widespread permanent thermocline exists beneath the relatively warm, well-mixed surface layer, from depths of about 200 m (660 feet) to about 1,000 m (3,000 feet), in which interval temperatures diminish steadily. grant thornton llp atlanta ga
