| Specifically, more oceanographic research in Hudson Bay, particularly documenting pycnocline development, is needed. |
| The polar regions are the only places where deep waters are ever exposed to the atmosphere because the pycnocline is not always present. |
| Below the pycnocline density continues to increase but much more slowly. |
| Bezys and Risk suggested that the black shales and mudstone facies were the results of a stratified water column with a pycnocline. |
| These waves occur in the ocean's interior and propagate horizontally, concentrating their energy around the oceanic pycnocline. |
| Internal waves occur in the ocean at the base of the pycnocline, especially at the bottom edge of a steep thermocline. |
