(approximately 26.0 kg m 3 ) is fairly constant throughout the year. However, the vertical scale of the detached layer varies significantly with season, extending 6080 m above the bottom in winter and spring, but only 2040 m above the bottom in summer. The vertical scale is controlled by the strength and depth of the seasonal pycnocline. The observations suggest that the detached layer is capable of extending into the euphotic zone during winter and spring.
