Definition of isopycnal in English:

isopycnal

adjectiveˌʌɪsə(ʊ)ˈpɪkn(ə)lˌīsəˈpiknl

Oceanography

(especially of an imaginary line or surface on a map or chart) connecting points in the ocean where the water has the same density.
〔海洋学〕等密度线；等密度面
Example sentencesExamples
- Vertical viscosity is used to essentially eliminate Montgomery potential gradient errors near the intersection of isopycnal surfaces with topography.
- We anticipate that there will be unique problems in adapting various core isopycnal models to our new isopycnal system.
- Redfield ratios of remineralization are calculated based on chemical data analysis on isopycnal surfaces.
- It is further shown that features of the spatial structure of isopycnal displacement and velocity scales may be inferred from a single station that measures potential energy fluctuations.
- Since the isopycnal surfaces move with the fluid, this representation is in fact quasi-Lagrangian.

Origin

Early 20th century: from iso- 'equal' + Greek puknos 'dense' + -al.
