Revisiting the CMIP5 Thermocline in the Equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans
Abstract The thermocline is defined as the ocean layer for which the vertical thermal gradient is maximum. In the equatorial ocean, observations led to the use of the 20 °C isotherm depth (z20) as an estimate of the thermocline. This study compares z20 against the physical thermocline in the equator...
