Abstract: Treating the problem of interleaving in ocean fronts, a linear stability analysis is applied to a thermohaline, baroclinic front in which the vertical diffusivity for mass and momentum is determined by both the double ...

Abstract: The different types of instability in the equatorial ?-plane approximation are analyzed by means of a 2D linear stability problem. The double-diffusive (DD) and diffusive/baroclinic (2D baroclinic and McIntyre) instabilities ...

Abstract: The effects of small-scale turbulence and the horizontal shear on double-diffusive interleaving are treated in the framework of a linear stability problem in the equatorial ?-plane approximation. The model predicts the ...

Abstract: Data from closely spaced CTD profiling performed in the eastern Gotland Basin after the 1993 inflow event are used to study thermohaline intrusions in the Baltic Sea. Two CTD cross sections display abundant intrusive layers ...
