Upper Ocean Stratification

Upper Ocean Stratification is a geophysical construct that denotes the vertical layering of seawater density in the upper ocean, distinguished by gradients in temperature and salinity that inhibit turbulent mixing and regulate the exchange of heat, momentum, and nutrients between the surface and deeper layers.
