Which thermocline change occurs when subtropical gyre intensification increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased gyre intensification suppresses vertical mixing due to increased stratification; therefore, mixed-layer depth shallows because wind-driven mixing becomes less effective, rather than nutrient distribution, deep water alteration, or salinity being principally affected.
