The preconfigured Fishing Thermocline product set moves your analysis beneath the ocean surface. It consolidates into one download temperatures at 13 subsurface temperatures ranging from 10 to 1000 meters. You can choose to look at any one of these layers in relation to SSH and SSC data for the same region or use the SAGA Thermocline tool to dig into the sub-surface conditions that affect your target species.
Just some of the capabilities of the Thermocline tool include the identification of the depth of the Mixed Layer under any surface position, the ability to choose your target species and the preferred fishing temperatures of that species, the volume of sub-surface water that exists in that temperature range for any given location and across your entire fishing region, the maximum fishing depth at which the gear you use can operate and how much water at your preferred temperatures exists above and below that depth. Add to this the layering of these data with SSH and SSC information and you have a one-of-a-kind fishing tool.
Thermocline data is updated once each data at approximately 900 UTC. Spatial resolution is 0.075 degrees.
