Laboratory Studies of Exchange Between a Polar and a Subpolar Basin
Experiments on the exchange of a freshwater surface layer between two basins in a rotating tank demonstrate the contrasting roles of wind and buoyancy forces. Buoyancy-driven exchange occurs primarily in narrow boundary currents along the walls. Wind-driven exchange has a complex flow pattern with n...
