What factors influence the density of seawater and how?

What is the pycnocline?

 3. What water depth range does the pycnocline occupy?

 4. How would variations of sea surface temperature, either very cold water in the polar regions or very warm waters in the equatorial region, influence the development of the thermocline and therefore the pycnocline?

 5. How do oceanographers convert measurements from a CTD into a value for seawater density?

 6. How do oceanographers assign a number value to seawater density (describe sigma-t, and give it’s definition)

 7. How does the density of seawater vary changing temperature?

 8. How does the density of seawater vary with changing salinity?

 9. Where is the mixed layer in the ocean and what are its properties?

 10. Where is the thermocline in the ocean and what are its properties?

 11. Where is the pycnocline in the ocean and what are its properties?

 12. Where is the Deep Water in the ocean and what is its properties?
