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: A linear stability problem is formulated to investigate the effect of turbulence on double-diffusively driven thermohaline interleaving in rotating media. Three cases are considered: (a) intrusions with an alongfront slope ...

Abstract: The statistics of a pair of Lagrangian particles offer, in principle, a possibility to estimate the structure functions of velocity, then the spatial autocorrelations, and finally the spatial spectra. On the basis of this ...

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 ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Lagrangian analysis of sets of particles advected with the flow fields of ocean models is used to study connectivity, that is, exchange pathways, time scales, and volume transports, between distinct oceanic ...
