Research Paper: The Effect of Wind Stress on Thermocline Development in Persian Gulf in Summer

Persian Gulf (PG) is a shallow semi-enclosed sea that connects to the open ocean through the Strait of Hormuz. Thermocline occurs as a sharp decrease in temperature with depth in the subsurface layer as a result of water column classification in Persian Gulf on a seasonal basis. Impulses such as the...
