it is the layer between the surface and the depth at which the density is 0.02 kg/m3 higher than the surface density. (or 0.03 or ... the way to calculate the mixed layer depth (MLD) is still in discussion). So if the waters are stratified, like in August in Mediterranean Sea, the MLD is of few centimeters... when there are waves and winds and convection the MLD increase. For example in the south atlantic during the austral summer the MLD vary from 40m to 100m depth.
In winter the MLD reached the bottom in 2006 in the Ligurian Sea (between France and Corsica), so the MLD was of 2000m depth ! It was due to a strong convection.
In winter in the North Atlantic it is generally of 900m depth. And in the South atlantic (roaring 50th) it is of 500m on average (during winter).
So it is impossible to answer your question! it is from 1cm to 2000m depth !!

How thick is earth's outer most layer?
its about two miles thick
Does a thick unchanging layer of the ozone cover the entire earth?
No, the ozone layer is not a single thick layer covering the entire Earth. Instead, it is a region of the stratosphere that contains higher concentrations of ozone gas. The thickness and concentration of this ozone layer vary depending on factors such as location and time of year.
What does it mean that the thermosphere is the thickest layer in the atmosphere?
no other layer is as thick is the thermosphere.
What layer of rock is 1800 miles thick?
The layer of rock that is approximately 1800 miles thick is the mantle layer of the Earth. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and its core, and it comprises the majority of the Earth's volume.
Do the oceans contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer of fifty feet thick?
No, the oceans do not contain enough salt to cover all of the continents with a layer 50 feet thick. The average salt content in the oceans is about 3.5%, and there is not enough salt to form a layer that thick on the continents.
Is the stratosphere have a thin layer or a thick layer?
thick layer
Thick layer of air that protects earth?
Ozone layer is the thick layer. It protects us from UV rays of the sun.
How thick is the inner layer?

What the is thermocline?
The transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer.
Thick rock layer of earths core?
mantle is the thick layer before you reach the core of the earth
Why do you keep warmer wearing several layers of clothes rather than one thick layer?
Yes it will be warmer depending on how thick your thick layer is!

How thick is epithelial tissues are one layer thick?
one cell
Where does the largest temperature change occur in the mixed layer and why?
The largest temperature change occurs at the base of the mixed layer where it meets the thermocline. This is because the mixed layer is in direct contact with the atmosphere and undergoes rapid temperature changes due to heating from the sun and cooling from wind and evaporation. As the mixed layer interacts with the thermocline, which is characterized by a sharp temperature gradient, the temperature change is accentuated.
Does a thick unchanging layer of the ozone cover the entire earth?
No, the ozone layer is not a single thick layer covering the entire Earth. Instead, it is a region of the stratosphere that contains higher concentrations of ozone gas. The thickness and concentration of this ozone layer vary depending on factors such as location and time of year.
How thick is the outermost layer of the Earth?
No the crust is the outer layer of the earth!!!
