Close to shore,
warm surface layers overlie cool bottom waters during summer [10], but this marked stratification is broken down by winter storms.
The warmer surface layer floats on top, preventing oxygen from mixing down to the bottom.
Changes in convection and cloud formations through altered air moisture (CAPE) could have implications for the coupled mode mechanisms, as would a deeper thermocline (usually situated near the bottom of
the warm surface layer).

The cold sub-polar water displaces
the warm surface layer nearer the equator and facilitates cold water upwelling on the eastern margin of the Pacific Ocean.
Somewhere, perhaps as much as a kilometer out, she rolled onto her back and basked in the sun and
the warm surface layer of the lake like some contented otter.
