The atmosphere and ocean are continuously stratified : potential density generally increases steadily downward.

Potential density is a dynamically important property : for static stability potential density must decrease upward.

In order to obtain the structure for ocean circulation, the tritium concentrations were mapped on 3 surfaces of constant potential density ( 23.90, 26.02, and 26.81 ).
5.
There were subsurface maxima in the middle and low latitude regions, which is indicative of lateral mixing ( advection ) and diffusion processes along lines of constant potential density ( isopycnals ) in the upper ocean.
6.
Additionally, because mixing in the ocean interior is largely along lines of constant potential density rather than along lines of constant depth, mixing must be rotated relative to the coordinate grid-a process that can be computationally expensive.
7.
It has a potential density of 27.76 27.78 mg / cm 3 relatively to the surface layers, meaning it is denser, and thus sinks under the surface and remains homogeneous and unaffected by the surface fluctuations.

For how \ gamma ^ n \, has been defined, neutral density surfaces can be considered the continuous analog of the commonly used potential density surfaces, which are defined over various discrete values of pressures ( see for example and ).
9.
In stable conditions ( potential density decreasing upward ) motion along surfaces of constant potential density ( isopycnals ) is energetically favored over flow across these surfaces ( diapycnal flow ), so most of the motion within a 3-D geophysical fluid takes place along these 2-D surfaces.
