- movements of animals. While the general structure of a pycnocline explained above holds true, pycnoclines can change based on the season. In the winter, sea...
- colder fresher surface layer and a colder more saline deeper layer. A pycnocline is a layer in a body of water where the change in density is relatively...
- the surface and more saline water as the depth increases. Many have pycnoclines and haloclines that show these zones, similar to the ocean around it...

- winter surface mixed layer. The base of the CIL is marked by a major pycnocline at about 100–200 metres (330–660 ft), and this density disparity is the...

- in temperature. A halocline can coincide with a thermocline and form a pycnocline. Haloclines are common in water-filled limestone caves near the ocean...
- of the water column, but depends on the water depth and location of pycnoclines (rapid changes in water density with depth). It can occur in 10-80% of...
