Also what is the intermixing of water two kilometers away, especially affected by currents (which I presume, without checking ofc bc this is the internet ๐Ÿ˜, are more horizontal than vertical - thus would intermixing occur more readily on the horizontal but the fact that it's vertical distance mean... what really)? So yeah, it makes sense then that due to the unknown factors, the default would take over.

Sometimes the water sits stable with next to no vertical intermixing and sometimes it intermixes to homogenity. Depends on the external conditions
