Short summary
In this study, we present a methodology to locate the minimum and maximum depths of the strongest thermocline, its thickness, and its strength by adjusting the sigmoid function to the temperature profiles in the global ocean. The results of the methodology are compared with the results of other methods found in the literature, and an assessment of the ocean regions where the adjustment is valid is provided. The method proposed here has shown to be robust and easy to apply.
