What is thermocline ?

• a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena

• A thermocline is a thin but distinct layer in a large body of fluid in which temperature changes more rapidly with depth than it does in the layers above or below.

• the leading edge of a cooler and mass of air, replacing a warmer mass of air.

• the average weather pattern of an area over a long period
