Nick Adams was a rebel. âJohnny Yuma was a rebel. He roamed through the West.â. Those words were sung over the credits of The Rebel, a half-hour western drama from the early 1960s that is probably familiar to most baby boomers.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A thermocline (sometimes metalimnion in lakes) is a thin but distinct layer in a large body of fluid (e.g. water, such as an ocean or lake, or air, such as an atmosphere) in which temperature changes more rapidly with depth than it does in the layers above or below.
For the use of ocean thermoclines to generate energy, see Ocean thermal energy conversion. Graph showing a tropical ocean thermocline (depth vs. temperature). Note the rapid change between 100 and 1000 meters. The temperature is nearly constant after 1500 meters depth. Graph of different thermoclines (depth vs. temperature) based on seasons and latitude.
