Abstract :
Temperature, Salinity and salinity are as some of physical properties of sea water often varying there. Thermocline, is a property as temperature varying in water column and having variations in terms of time and space. Study and investigation of existence and developing trend with seasonal variations conduct the researcher to some information about inter fluid events. Numerical methods having errors and approximations, and predicted values will be closer to real ones that it is related to more knowledge about influence of present forces and effective factors on the problem.Therefore, little errors happens in numerical study. Of course it is helpful to predict results for different time periods in suitable time and so compete them with measured values for evaluation of the results in the case study zone. Running a numerical model, Princeton, during a 6 months period from winter using measured values of temperature, and applying initial and boundary conditions, also effective factors on physical conditions variations in the zone, summer temperatures are resulted and so formation and development of thermocline will be analyzed. In fact, development of thermocline from strait of Hormuz to Northwest of the Persian Gulf (Arvand river estuary) has been investigated.
