This new OOI Data Exploration invites students to explore ocean stratification including drivers and variability, while allowing students to grapple with data gaps, representation and interpretation – leading to a better understanding of mixed layer dynamics. The authors will review the activity, suggest ways to incorporate it into coursework,  and discuss preliminary implementation results.
