Thermocline definition

Thermocline means a zone of water between a warmer, surface zone and a colder, deep-water zone in a thermally stratified waterbody, in which water temperature decreases rapidly with depth;
Thermocline means the zone of rapid temperature change with depth in a body of water, where the water temperature changes at least 1 degree Celsius with every meter of depth.
Thermocline means the middle layer of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir where there is a rapid decrease in temperatures.
