Marginal sea overflows and the upper ocean interaction
Marginal sea overflows and the overlying upper ocean are coupled in the vertical by two distinct mechanisms— by an interfacial mass flux from the upper ocean to the overflow layer that accompanies entrainment and by a divergent eddy flux associated with baroclinic instability. Because both mechanism...
