Abstract The Arctic Ocean is a focal point of climate change, with ocean warming,
freshening, sea‐ice decline, and circulation that link to the changing atmospheric and …

We present direct numerical simulations of the transport of heat and heavy elements across
a double-diffusive interface or a double-diffusive staircase, in conditions that are close to …

Atlantic Water (AW) is the largest reservoir of heat in the Arctic Ocean, isolated from the
surface and sea ice by a strong halocline. In recent years, AW shoaling and warming are …

Microstructure Observations of Turbulent Heat Fluxes in a Warm-Core Canada Basin Eddy in:
Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 48 Issue 10 (2018) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

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 …

Abstract In the Beaufort Sea in September of 2015, concurrent mooring and microstructure
observations were used to assess dissipation rates in the vicinity of 72° 35′ N, 145° 1′ W …

Double‐diffusive stratification in the ocean is characterized by staircase structures consisting
of mixed layers separated by high‐gradient interfaces in temperature and salinity. These …

Eastern Arctic Ocean Diapycnal Heat Fluxes through Large Double-Diffusive Steps in: Journal
of Physical Oceanography Volume 49 Issue 1 (2019) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation …

A sequence of two-and three-dimensional simulations are conducted for the double-diffusive
convection (DDC) flows in the diffusive regime subjected to an imposed shear. For a wide …

Arctic Ocean waters sourced from the Atlantic contain a vast amount of heat. In the Arctic's
Beaufort Gyre, diffusive convection is the primary mechanism by which this heat is …
