We had a nice dive out at Point Whitney today. As typical for Hood Canal at this time of the year, there was a layer of algae-plankton-pea-soup down to about 25ft, visibility maybe 3ft, then it cleared out with a vis of 20 feet or more.
So that got me wondering...
If the interface between two different temperature layers is a thermocline...
...And two density layers is a pycnocline...
...And two salinity layers is a halocline...
What is it called when you have two layers of differing biological goo density? A crapocline? Planktocline? Algocline?
We must have a word for this!

I like crapocline

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

I call it "the crust".
