Laboratory study of turbulent gravity currents on a continental slope
This study characterizes the dynamics of a turbulent gravity current flowing down a uniform slope in a rotating media. These dense overflows are of particular interest in oceanography since it is an important mechanism in renewing deep water as part of the global thermohaline convective cycle. The l...
