Intermediate Water Formation

Intermediate Water Formation is the oceanographic process by which water masses of distinct temperature and salinity characteristics are created at intermediate depths, typically below the surface mixed layer and above the deep ocean, through cooling, evaporation, or mixing processes that increase density and drive subsidence, thereby contributing to the ventilation and stratification of the mid-level ocean circulation.
