Barrier layer have a function to maintain the stability of the lower layer and upper layer,not all of the sea have this layer. This layer located between the layers of mixed layer depth (MLD) and isothermal layer depth (ILD). The thickness and position of the barrier layer is always <br /> <br /> <br /> varies with space and time. Research areas of interest in this final project is the Halmahera Sea,Halmahera sea is directly adjacent to the western Pacific Ocean in the area where there is always a barrier layer. The existence of this barrier layer will affect the oceanographic conditions in the sea. The method used to determine the depth of ILD is &#916;T of 0.5oC and for MLD is &#916;&#961; of 0,125 <br /> <br /> <br /> kg m-3. The results obtained from this study is that there is always a barrier layer on the Halmahera Sea, but with varying thickness over a span of five years (2006-2010), maximum thickness 50 m and minimum 2 m. The thickness of barrier layer on the east season is always <br /> <br /> <br /> thicker than the other seasons, because of the east season the wind speed is greater than the other <br /> <br /> <br /> seasons. The Impact is given by the La Nina is thicken the barrier layer, while the El Nino will <br /> <br /> <br /> dilute the barrier layer.
