Northwest Dive Club

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 call it "the crust".

The biocline... basically says you aren't in Mexico brah! This is the PACIFIC NORTHWEST put down the chips and guacamole...put down the margarita...suck it up!
