| 31. | The maximum depth of the mixed layer in which net growth can occur is called the critical depth.
|
| 32. | The mixed layer is nearest to the surface and can vary in thickness from 10 to 500 meters.
|
| 33. | The mixed layer is characterized by being nearly uniform in properties such as temperature and salinity throughout the layer.
|
| 34. | Mixed layer clays with two equal components ( 50 % of each clay ) are the easiest to identify.
|
| 35. | In the mixed layer, buoyancy generated by heating from the ground surface is the major driver of convective turbulence.
|
| 36. | Niiler was particularly interested in typhoon cold wake to study relaxation of the mixed layer temperature after cyclone passage.
|
| 37. | The mixed layer is also important as its depth determines the average level of light seen by marine organisms.
|
| 38. | The mixed layer can vary from being shallower than the photic zone, to being much deeper than the photic zone.
|
| 39. | Another shortcoming of Sverdrup's model was that he did not consider the role of active turbulence in the mixed layer.
|
| 40. | When the mixed layer deepens again in the following autumn / early winter the anomalies may influence again the surface.
