Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Based on the data collected during an investigation in the Nansha Islands in Nov. 1997, the characteristics of the transition layer in temperature and salinity are discussed respectively with the interpolating method of cubic spline. The results show that in each observated point of the investigated region there is a thermoc- line and halocline at the same time, and more than half of those are of multitr- ansition layers. The results also show the relationship between the thickness and intensity of the transition layer. The characteristics of the day time thermocline are also discussed.
