In oceanography, a halocline (from Greek hals, halos 'salt' and klinein 'to slope') is a cline, a subtype of chemocline caused by a strong, vertical salinity...

this lower salinity layer and the bulk of the ocean lies the so-called halocline, in which both salinity and temperature rise with increasing depth. Because...

hypolimnion and epilimnion are separated not by a thermocline but by a halocline, which is sometimes referred to as a chemocline. Lakes are informally...

seasonal thermoclines can occur. In these areas, a permanent halocline exists, and this halocline is the main factor in determining the permanent pycnocline...
