आइसोपाइकनाल (isopycnal Meaning in Hindi)

An isopycnal is a surface of equal potential density in the ocean. The adjective isopycnal refers to changes or processes that take place along surfaces of equal potential density. Isopycnals are always very close to the horizontal but small deviations from the horizontal may have a large impact on ocean dynamics and on the representation of some processes (such as diffusion) in ocean models.
