There are five depths which are modelled:
100m + or -
140m + or -
190m + or -
220m + or -
260m + or -
There is no way to determine if you have one, other than by being very in tune to the enemy above's behaviour(other than using the stealth meter). The layers are not a hard deck but rather an area where the enemy listening abilities begin to degrade.
example: Commander issues you a 100m TL file. What this means is that, depending on the year and sensor being used above you the detection capabilities may begin to degrade around 85m for some, around 90 or 100m for others and perhaps at 105 or 110m for late war higher tech units.
If you were using the stealth meter you would notice the red bar gradually dirty up and slowly go to brown-olive-green as you slowly descended thry the layer. Having said this you still MUST be at silent running. If you try to increase speed you chance making noise and becoming detected. However, given this scenario should you dive down to 150 or 180 you can "sometimes" disable SR and reload, repair etc etc. A lot depends on sea state and AI level.
Hope this helps.
