Abstract: The effort to determine oceanic velocities from tracer distributions relies on a knowledge of the effects of mixing. However, the macroscopic diffusion coefficient, K, is generally not known and must be calculated along ...

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: rajectories of Argo floats deployed in the East/Japan Sea from 2001 to 2014 reveal that the middepth gyral circulation pattern of the Japan basin, the central part of the East/Japan Sea, undergoes a seasonal variation. The ...

Abstract: Although the reliability of flexible electronics during bending deformation is of great interest nowadays, the mechanical reliability that has mainly been investigated is of single electronic components or simple devices, ...
