Layer Upper limit (m) Layer Upper limit (m)
ATL-BWI 1,902 DIS-BWI 1,902
ATL-UCLb 2,006
ATL-UCL1 2,015
ATL-UCL2 2,034
ATL-LCL 2,057 DIS-LCL 2,057
a

Determined by the temperature and salinity profiles generated by the high-range CTD device.

b

This is the uppermost convective layer in Atlantis II and was not sampled because of its thinness.
