🌊 Thermocline Depth Profile (2D)

Interactive 2D ocean thermocline profile. Adjust surface temperature, thermocline depth and gradient steepness to see how the temperature-vs-depth curve and sound-speed (SOFAR) minimum change, with a live water-column color gradient.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 2D ocean temperature-vs-depth profile. A sigmoid curve models the thermocline between the warm surface layer and cold deep water, alongside a Mackenzie (1981) sound-speed profile showing the SOFAR channel minimum. Adjust surface temperature, thermocline depth, steepness and salinity, or load a season preset, to see the water-column color gradient and curves update live.
