The data collected in the course of the drifter experiment within the Rim Current zone allowed preliminary estimates of the thermocline response to a changing current velocity. It was found that an increase in the Rim Current velocity leads to deepening of the seasonal thermocline with a simultaneous decrease in its thickness and an increase in its temperature gradient. A decrease in the Rim Current velocity causes a rise in the thermocline to shallower depths, accompanied by an increase in its thickness and a decrease in its temperature gradient. Considerations on a possible mechanism of such a process are presented.
