Note on the Rate of Restratification in the Baroclinic Spindown of Fronts
This paper revisits how the restratifying buoyancy flux w'b'generated by baroclinic mixed layer instabilities depends on environmental conditions. The frontal spindown is shown to produce buoyancy fluxes that increase significantly beyond the previously proposed and widely used scaling w&#...
