Thermal stability

In thermodynamics, thermal stability describes the stability of a water body and its resistance to mixing. It is the amount of work needed to transform the water to a uniform water density. The Schmidt stability "S" is commonly measured in joules per square meter (J/m2).

For stability of a molecule at high temperature, see Thermostability.
