In oceanography, a nearly isothermal surface layer of around 40 to 150 m depth caused by wind stirring and convection.
Vertical zone in the ocean between the surface and the thermocline where wave action mix%-.-s the water to a uniform temperature and salinity (typically 25-100 m thick).
An isothermal surface layer of water, approximately 40–150 m deep caused by wind and convection. Optical Oceanography A branch of oceanography concerned with the propagation and interaction of radiation, typically at wavelengths between approximately 350 and 750 nm.
It is the upper portion of the boundary layer in which air is thoroughly mixed by convection. In oceanography, it is the layer of the water that is mixed through wave action or thermohaline convection.
The oceanic or limnological mixed layer is the top zone in the ocean or a lake, having variable depth depending on how far the energy from the wind has penetrated into the water. The atmospheric mixed layer is a zone having nearly constant potential temperature and humidity with height. The depth of the atmospheric mixed layer is known as the mixing height.
