Abyssal Layering

Abyssal Layering is a theoretical construct in deep-ocean stratification that characterizes the fine-scale vertical structuring of density gradients and hydrographic properties in the abyssal ocean, distinguishing itself from other stratification models by emphasizing sustained, bottom-intensified density interfaces driven by geothermal heating, turbulent mixing, and abyssal circulation dynamics.
