Depends on how you're defining mixed layer depth... a common definition is a difference of 0.125 in potential density from the reference density (usually surface). Does that work for your purposes? If so, does your density array include absolute density or potential density?

So... you want someone to give you code, but you don't care if the answers you get from that code make any sense for your problem? Have at it then: calcmld.m.
