| Administration | The boundary between surface fresh water and underlying saltwater in a stratified coastal environment. A location where there is a marked change in salinity. (references) | ||
| Mining | A steep ascendent of salinity. This has an effect on refraction of sound waves, since sound velocity increases with increasing salinity. (references) | ||
| Weather | In the oceans, a well-defined vertical gradient of salinity. (references) | ||
| Wikipedic | A Halocline is a salinity gradient, a change in the concentration of salt dissolved in water. In the ocean there is a tendency for less dense fresher water to float on top of denser saltier water. This difference in salinity with depth has great impact on the mixing of various parts of the ocean. (references) | ||
