Satellite measurements have largely improved sea surface salinity (SSS) observations in the
recent decade, including Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Aquarius/Satélite de …

Double-diffusive processes enhance diapycnal mixing of heat and salt in the open ocean.
However, observationally based evidence of the effects of double-diffusive mixing on the …

We describe a mechanism that leads to the spontaneous formation of a thermohaline
staircase in the high-latitude oceans. Our analysis of this mechanism is based upon a model …

The transmission of huge amounts of data generated from various sensors is the basis and
prerequisite for the analysis and prediction of the marine ecosystem. The special …

Abstract In the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean, warm and salty Atlantic‐origin Water (AW)
lies in the intermediate layer (250–800 m) below a colder and fresher surface layer. It results …

A thermohaline staircase detection algorithm, applied to mooring and ice‐tethered profiler
data, systematically assessed the variability of fine‐scale, diffusive‐convective staircase …

Thermohaline staircases are stepped structures of alternating thick mixed layers and thin
high-gradient interfaces. These structures can be up to several tens of metres thick and are …

Thermohaline staircases are a widespread stratification feature that impacts the vertical
transport of heat and nutrients and are consistently observed throughout the Canada Basin …

Because of its pronounced fresh signature, the properties of the northward‐flowing Antarctic
Intermediate Water (AAIW) affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Hence …

Based on historical CTD data and partial seismic lines from the EW0210 cruise," salt finger"
thermohaline staircases were identified in the Gulf of California for the first time, and their …
