🌊 Ocean Stratification Lab: Pycnocline, Buoyancy Frequency, Seasonal Mixing and Internal Waves
Cut open the top kilometre of the ocean: temperature and salinity set density, density sets the buoyancy frequency, and seasonal heating, cooling and wind mixing build and erase the thermocline. Lower a CTD from a ship and watch internal waves ride the pycnocline.
