   Thermal Stratification and Convection
   In large, deep water bodies, temperature gradients often establish distinct layers. The uppermost layer, the epilimnion, is generally well-mixed and warmer due to solar absorption and wind action. Below this lies the thermocline, a zone of rapid temperature decrease. Deeper still is the hypolimnion, which remains cold and dense throughout the year.
   The persistence of the thermocline is strongly tied to wind stress, as evidenced in shallow coastal zones like [U Tapao Bay](/entri…
