Model Derived Depth Isotherm

The Depth of the 26° isotherm in the ocean is represented as D26. It is obtained by scanning the ocean temperature profile from the surface to the depth where temperature reaches 26° C. It gives an idea of the depth to which the warm surface layer of the ocean extends. This parameter is particularly of interest to oceanographers and atmospheric scientists studying the genesis, intensification and propagation of cyclones as well as their impacts.
