| I have noticed on previous dives that most of the fish, understandably, stick to the shallows and the warmer water above the thermocline. |
|
| A strong thermocline yields an oily mixing effect in the water and it is getting on for 45m before it clears enough to take photographs. |
|
| But as you descend the sides of the reef you hit a thermocline at 15-20m and it clears dramatically. |
|
| These fish can be driven from deeper, cooler water beneath the thermocline to the warm surface water, not normally associated with sardines. |
|
| In this area seasonal temperatures and salinities vary little from year to year and the thermocline structure is rather stable. |
|
| Both submarines remained below the thermocline, heading into rocky terrain. |
|
| Descending for the first time, I encountered a thermocline so intense that I thought something was wrong with my eyes. |
|
| At the bottom of this warm layer is a narrow zone called the thermocline, below which things suddenly become much colder. |
|
| Normally, there is not much mixing of the water above and below the thermocline. |
|
| The water at that depth is a constant 4°C, its temperature protected by a layer of water above it called a thermocline. |
|
| The amount of mixing depends partly on the strength of the hurricane and partly on the depth of the thermocline. |
|
| Winds can also induce tilting of the water surface and of the thermocline, which may result in seiche motions that oscillate within the basin. |
|
| These waters are transported into the barrier layer, or thermocline, of the more northern oceans, where the nutrients are then absorbed by phytoplankton at the surface. |
|
| The school would suddenly appear through the shimmering thermocline. |
|
| During the study, the thermocline gradually declined and vertical mixing started, leading to a transition from a nutrient-depleted period to a nutrient-replete period. |
|
| The thermocline is located at a depth of about 5 m in early August and moves gradually deeper as the water cools in fall. |
|
| If the plume stays above the thermocline, vertical mixing will be restricted and dilution will result more from horizontal mixing. |
|
| Secondary thermoclines may develop in the epilimnion, and these will migrate downward to the main seasonal thermocline. |
|
| Warm water above the thermocline is luxurious for decompression. |
|
| Most nutrients and production are retained in surface waters above the permanent thermocline. |
|
|
|
| The surface layer of diversion water will have the same temperature down to the thermocline. |
|
| The volume of water beneath the thermocline will be smaller than at present and the water will not be as cold. |
|
| There is usually a pronounced thermocline and bottom temperatures may be considerably cooler. |
|
| The free-swimming fish seem to congregate annoyingly at the thermocline, where the oily effect of mixing water makes them appear constantly out of focus. |
|
| Published data from a lake and diurnally stratified river weir pool are used here to verify a minimum thermocline depth hypothesis proposed by others. |
|
| During any period of strong warming, one or more shallower thermoclines may be observed to develop and move downward to the seasonal thermocline. |
|
| Reduced DOC exports to lakes and the resulting changes in thermocline depths will affect biogeochemical processes and cold-water biota. |
|
| The water temperature above the thermocline is near that in rivers. |
|
| Internal waves occur in the ocean at the base of the pycnocline, especially at the bottom edge of a steep thermocline. |
|
| The zone of decreasing temperatures in midwater, which includes the thermocline, is the metalimnion. |
|
| The top of the thermocline was found to be about 250 meters deeper compared with any other year for which measurements exist. |
|
| A thermocline is a region within the chilled water with sharp vertical temperature and density gradients, or the thermal boundary layer. |
|
| The aim is to release tailings below the surface thermocline and euphotic zone, so the tailings form a 'density current' that readily descends to the depths of the ocean. |
|
| Modern theories of the ocean circulation that incorporate the ventilated thermocline and the homogenization of potential vorticity will be covered and compared with observations. |
|
| Although the normal surface temperature in both bodies of water is about the same, the thermocline is nearer to the surface in the Gulf of Mexico. |
|
| Below this permanent thermocline, temperatures decrease slowly. |
|
| Oxygen in the thermocline has already been observed to be declining in some regions, and will inevitably decline globally as sea surface temperature increases. |
|
| Particularly in freshwater systems, of course, we can draw from the thermocline and have a rearing environment that is available to fish all year round. |
|
| The thermocline is at 150 m depth in summer and at 130 m in winter. |
|
| Should the initial dilution be such that the plume is entrapped below the thermocline, mixing will likely be slower and movement could almost approach the volume being displaced by the effluent discharge. |
|
|
|
| By early September most of the water below the thermocline was anoxic. |
|
| For stratified stations, indicated with a plus sign, mean temperatures above and below the thermocline are provided in parentheses. |
|
| Even among migratory species, only a few crossed the thermocline and reached the bottom layer. |
|
| North Atlantic Deep Water flows southerward below the thermocline of the subtropical gyre. |
|
| In the open ocean, many sinking cells are lost to the deep, but refuge populations can persist near the thermocline. |
|
| If a zone undergoes dramatic changes in temperature with depth, it contains a thermocline. |
|
| The tropical thermocline is typically deeper than the thermocline at higher latitudes. |
|
| The halocline often coincides with the thermocline, and the combination produces a pronounced pycnocline. |
|
| If this rise were to stop, downward movement of heat would cause the thermocline to descend and would reduce its steepness. |
|
| In the ocean, the thermocline divides the upper mixed layer from the calm deep water below. |
|
| During the summer, warm water, which is less dense, will sit on top of colder, denser, deeper water with a thermocline separating them. |
|
| The thermocline or inversion layer occurs where the temperature profile changes from positive to negative with increasing height. |
|
| A significant effect of its shallow depth is that for all or most of the time, it has no thermocline. |
|
| The thermocline is the transition zone between the warm water closer to the surface and the lower cold water. |
|
| This is quite unlike Windermere where in summer, there is a sharp thermocline at a depth of 9 to 15 metres, well above the maximum depth of 60 metres or so. |
|
| Factors that affect the depth and thickness of a thermocline include seasonal weather variations, latitude and local environmental conditions, such as tides and currents. |
|
| In case of a difference in salinity, the hypolimnion and epilimnion are separated not by a thermocline but by a halocline, which is sometimes referred to as a chemocline. |
|
| Here, a thermocline develops but where the limiting dimensions lie is influenced by the sunniness and windiness of the site and the murkiness of the water. |
|
| They now feature ThermoCline Technology allowing 48 plus hours of protection for temperature sensitive payloads. |
|
| Thermocline deepening and mixing alter zooplankton phenology, biomass and body size in a whole-lake experiment. |
