| Title: | Double-diffusive convection and interleaving in the Arctic Ocean - distribution and importance / Bert Rudels, and 4 others. |
| Author(s): | Rudels, Bert. |
| Date: | 2009. |
| In: | Geophysica. (2009.), Vol. 45(1-2) (2009) |
| Abstract: | Describes double-diffusive convection, important mixing mechanism in low-energy environment of Arctic Ocean, which is triggered by different molecular diffusion rates of heat and salt and which utilises potential energy stored in unstably stratified component (heat or salt) to increase vertical transports. Cold, fresh water above warm, saline water leads to formation of diffusive interfaces, while warm and saline water above cooler and fresher water results in saltfingers. Former situation is more representative of Arctic Ocean and vertical heat transport through diffusive interfaces could contribute significantly to upward heat flux from sub-surface warm Atlantic water to upper layers. |
