A study of thermocline calculations in the China Sea
中国近海温跃层判定方法的研究

Based on observations data in the northeastern East China Sea and South China Sea,the applications of the vertical gradient method and the quasi-step function approximation method in shallow waters(depth <200 m),the shelf break waters(about 200 m)and open seas(depth>200 m)were analyzed to solve the horizontal discontinuity of the thermocline calculations in the shelf break waters.The results show that:in shallow waters,the results of these two methods are consistent,particularly the results are more consist...
