📊 Ocean Profile Data Input
🔬 Physical Oceanography Analysis:
- Density profile calculation (UNESCO EOS-80)
- Richardson number analysis
- Brunt-Väisälä frequency computation
- Thermocline & halocline detection
- Stratification & mixing parameters
- Velocity shear analysis (if provided)
- Water mass identification
- Stability & turbulence indicators
Depth measurements from surface to bottom (meters). Use consistent intervals.
Temperature measurements at each depth level (Celsius)
Salinity measurements in Practical Salinity Units (PSU)
Dissolved oxygen concentration measurements (mg/L or ml/L)
Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements (Relative Fluorescence Units)
Horizontal current velocity measurements at each depth (m/s). Used for Richardson number and shear calculations.
Vertical velocity measurements (m/s). Positive = upward, negative = downward. Used for upwelling/downwelling analysis.
