Laboratory Simulation of Fluid Dynamical Process Related to Winter Arctic Leads

A comprehensive series of experiments were carried out to investigate the layered convection that occurs in linearly salt-stratified fluids subjected to destabilizing buoyancy fluxes, in particular heating from below. Unlike previous work, turbulence in the convecting layers was explicitly taken int...
