The ocean is a set of temperaments related to schismic in the same way deeptone relates to meantone.

More precisely, these temperaments equate 5/4 to a kind of fourth. There is a single parameter d such that 5/4 is equated to a d-fold diminished fourth.

The temperaments with small d are already named. 0 gets you father, 1 gets you schismic. And as d tends to infinity, this tends to 7c-edo, which is a tuning of all temperaments here.

The name "ocean" is due to 7c supporting all of these temperaments. Think seven seas.

This is actually a temperament continuum, and equates Pythagorean chromatic semitones of 2187/2048 to a 16/15 classical diatonic semitone. However, the term "diatonic-chromatic temperament continuum" is taken.
