Thermocline depth



Hi, all of you,
 
From the Ferret Email Achives I found the following scripts used for calculating thermocline depth, but I have some questions about it.
 
Please see below, thanks very much.
 
! calculation of  thermocline depth (by computing the depth of maximum vertical gradient)

use levitus_climatology
let dtdz = temp[z=@ddc]
let dtdz_min = dtdz[z=@min]            ! Why is "@min" here, not "@max" ????????
let zero_at_min = dtdz - dtdz_min
let thermocline_rough = zero_at_min[z=@loc:0]
let thermocline = thermocline_rough[x=@sbx:11,y=@sbx:11]
set var/title="Thermocline Depth"/units="meters" thermocline
fill/lev=30 thermocline
go fland
