Temporal trends in pycnocline depth, SST, stratification, and mixed layer depths also differ between these biogeochemical provinces [40].

Capotondi A. (January 2008): Can the mean structure of the tropical pycnocline affect ENSO period in coupled climate models?

The other replies suggest volcano input is comparable to the background geothermal flux, which in turn is much less than the fluxes through the pycnocline from the warm Atlantic water, and to a lesser extent, the Pacific inflow.

This shows upward fluxes through the top of the pycnocline of about 1 watt in the Beayfort Sea, and 2 - 3 watts over the Chukchi Shelf, an area influenced by the Pacific inflow.
