Thermocline 2
Thermocline 2 : As one descends from the surface of the ocean, the temperature remains nearly the same as it was at the surface, but at a certain depth temperature starts decreasing rapidly with depth. This boundary is called the thermocline. In studying the tropical Pacific Ocean, the depth of 20oC water ("the 20oC isotherm") is often used as a proxy for the depth of the thermocline. Along the equator, the 20oC isotherm is typically located at about 50m depth in the eastern Pacific, sloping downwards to about 150 m in the western Pacific
