Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Freshwater Lenses in the Ocean’s Near-Surface Layer
Convective rains in the Intertropical Convergence Zone produce lenses of freshened water on the ocean surface. Due to significant density differences between the freshened and saltier seawater, strong pressure gradients develop, resulting in lateral spreading of freshwater lenses in the form of grav...
