I have experiences very pronounced thermoclines in the sea,
- in the gulf of Oman
- on many shores in Indonesia
- even at Isla del Cocos

They are slow responding in air, but under water, it usually takes just a few seconds
for them to change.
But I've got a different suggestion for visualization: Instead of abusing the X-Axis
for something not time, just paint a background-color gradient (like from blue to purple or yellow)
instead of the current linear light-to-dark-blue background color gradient, to visualizes the
temperature at depth.
