ON THE THERMODYNAMICS OF SUBDUCTION
For a parcel of fluid in the mixed layer to pass into the stratified thermocline - to subduct - it must be stratified by buoyancy input; this buoyancy can be supplied by local air-sea exchange and/or by lateral advective processes. A series of experiments is described in which a mixed layer, coupled...
