Double-diffusive convection arises when two scalar fields, typically temperature and salinity, diffuse at distinct rates in stratified seawater. In the ocean, this process manifests chiefly as salt ...

Thermohaline staircases and mesoscale eddies play crucial roles in the transport of heat, salt, and nutrients in the ocean, yet their complex relationship remains unclear due to the limitations in ...

These are salt fingers. The eerie fingerlike structures are caused by sinking blobs of warm, salty water interleaving with rising blobs of cold, fresh water. This is a thermohaline staircase. Thin ...
