Stratification Effects in the Turbulent Boundary Layer beneath a Melting Ice Shelf: Insights from Resolved Large-Eddy Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOcean turbulence contributes to the basal melting and dissolution of ice shelves by transporting heat and salt toward the ice. The meltwater causes a stable salinity stratification to form beneath the ice that ...

Adjustment of the Meridional Overturning Circulation and Its Dependence on Depth of Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relative roles of advective processes and mixing on the temporal adjustment of the meridional overturning circulation are examined, in particular the effects of mixing in either the abyssal or upper ocean. Laboratory ...
