Double-diffusive instabilities are often invoked to explain enhanced transport in stably stratified fluids. The most-studied natural manifestation of this process, fingering convection …

This study investigates the dynamics of fingering convection on scales much smaller than the typical size of individual salt fingers. On such scales, salinity patterns exhibit the …
As the only deep hypersaline, halite‐precipitating lake on Earth today, the Dead Sea is the single modern analog for investigating the mechanisms by which large‐scale and thick salt …
This paper describes the thermohaline characteristics of the Arctic Front to the west of Spitsbergen, in terms of the double-diffusive environment and the potential for densification …

In this work we show that horizontal gradients of temperature and salinity with compensating effects on density can drive thermohaline intrusion in the fluid layer below. Specifically …
Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy …
In the preparation of café latte, spectacular layer formation can occur between the espresso shot in a glass of milk and the milk itself. Xue et al.(Nat. Commun., vol. 8, 2017, pp. 1–6) …
