Ice-Tethered Profiler observations of the double-diffusive staircase in the Canada Basin thermocline
[1] Six Ice-Tethered Profilers (ITP), deployed in the central Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean between 2004 and 2007, have provided detailed potential temperature and salinity measurements of a double-diffusive staircase at about 200–300 m depth. Individual layers in the staircase are of order 1 m in vertical height but appear to extend horizontally for hundreds of kilometers, with along-layer ...
متن کاملInstability and diapycnal momentum transport in a double-diffusive, stratified shear layer
We investigate the linear stability of a double-diffusively stratified, inflectional shear flow. Double-diffusive stratification has little effect on shear instability except when the density ratio Rρ is close to unity. Double-diffusive instabilities have significant growth rates and can represent the fastest growing mode even in the presence of inflectionally unstable shear with low Richardson...
متن کاملDouble diffusive reaction-convection in viscous fluid layer
In the present study, the onset of double diffusive reaction-convection in a uid layer with viscous fluid, heated and salted from below subject to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries, has been investigated. Linear and nonlinear stability analysis have been performed. For linear analysis normal mode technique is used and for nonlinear analysis minimal representation of truncated Fourier serie...
متن کاملStratification and Double-Diffusive Convection in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait during Winter Monsoon
Investigation of stratification in marine environments is always considered by researchers. In this study double-diffusive convection and stratification in the Bab el Mandeb strait is investigated by analyzing of field data. Measurement of seawater temperature and salinity from ARGO project (2009 to2014) and also R-V Knorr (2001) cruise with the daily average of seawater temperature and salinit...
متن کاملDouble-Diffusive Phenomena
The study of convective motions produced by unstable density distributions in a fluid is now highly developed. Most attention has been given to the case of a thin horizontal layer of fluid, heated below and cooled above, and results obtained using a combination of Boussinesq theory and laboratory experiments have been success fully applied in many contexts (Chandrasekhar 1961, Spiegel 1971). T...
