- movements of animals. While the general structure of a pycnocline explained above holds true, pycnoclines can change based on the season. In the winter, sea...

- colder fresher surface layer and a colder more saline deeper layer. A pycnocline is a layer in a body of water where the change in density is relatively...
- winter surface mixed layer. The base of the CIL is marked by a major pycnocline at about 100–200 metres (330–660 ft), and this density disparity is the...
- where fresh and brackish waters meet. The salinity fronts are also pycnoclines due to the water density discontinuities. They play an important role...
