Double-Diffusive Recipes. Part I: Large-Scale Dynamics of Thermohaline Staircases
Three-dimensional dynamics of thermohaline staircases are investigated using a series of basin-scale staircase-resolving numerical simulations. The computational domain and forcing fields are chosen to reflect the size and structure of the North Atlantic subtropical thermocline. Salt-finger transpor...
