Abstract: his study explores the dynamics of thermohaline staircases: well-defined stepped structures in temperature and salinity profiles, commonly observed in regions of active double diffusion. The evolution of staircases in time ...

Abstract: theoretical model is developed, which attempts to predict the lateral transport by mesoscale variability, generated and maintained by baroclinic instability of large-scale flows. The authors are particularly concerned by ...

Abstract: hree-dimensional dynamics of thermohaline staircases are investigated using a series of basin-scale staircase-resolving numerical simulations. The computational domain and forcing fields are chosen to reflect the size and ...
