The effects produced by multicomponent convection in fluids are discussed, along with
linear models for the processes involved and applications. The key notion is that a fluid layer …

Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid
components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Intrusions are commonly observed in the upper, deep and coastal oceans, and are closely
linked to lateral fluxes of heat, salt and momentum. This is a review of observations of …

Although no country to date has released a major genetically modified (GM) food grain crop,
China is on the threshold of commercializing GM rice. This paper studies two of the four GM …

The inflows of Atlantic water from the Nordic Seas to the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait
and over the Barents Sea are examined and their pathways and transformations in the …

Diapycnal mixing plays a significant role in the ocean's circulation and uptake of heat and
carbon dioxide, but has not been quantified in salt finger–driven thermohaline staircases …

Abstract South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) is carried poleward within a narrow longitude
interval off the Argentine coast by the Brazil Current after confluence with the Malvinas …

The water mass distribution in northern Fram Strait and over the Yermak Plateau in summer
1997 is described using CTD data from two cruises in the area. The West Spitsbergen …

Hypotheses concerning the origin of thermohaline staircases in salt fingering regions are
reviewed and assessed. One such hypothesis, that staircases arise from thermohaline …
