A possible diagnostic could be % of time that a latitudinal density point exists - so in Durack & Wijffels (2010) the assumption was made on a monthly climatology, so if an isopycnal exists 12 months of the year this is the limit of the bowl
And here is a published plot from Durack & Wijffels (2010; http://doi.org/10.1175/2010JCLI3377.1)
Persistence computation added (in %): map + zonal mean per basin (files _persistent) Depth / temp/ salinity of shallowest persistence ocean added (zonal mean)
