Description:Mean monthly distributions of the mixed layer depth (defined as the first depth at which the temperature is 0.5°C less than the sea-surface temperature) and thermocline depth (defined as the depth of the 20°C isotherm) are derived from data collected between 1948 and 1981. Approximately 50,000 data points are available to generate the climatologies. Amplitude and phase distributions for the annual and semi-annual signals are computed from the monthly time series. The mixed layer depth distributions are compared to the thermocline depth distributions to identify possible regions where thermocline displacements influence mixed layer displacements.
