Calculation method
Threshold mixed-layer depth (m)
First depth where absolute departure from first profile value reaches threshold; linear interpolation.
Threshold status
If threshold is not reached, report below sampled range instead of inventing a depth.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Depth-density-temperature profiles, chosen threshold. Returns Threshold-based layer depth. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Increasing depths (m): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Profile values (temperature or density): minimum None, maximum 1000000000000.0. Absolute departure threshold from first observation: minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
