▪ Abstract The coexistence in the deep ocean of a finite, stable stratification, a strong
meridional overturning circulation, and mesoscale eddies raises complex questions …

Global differences of temperature and buoyancy flux at the ocean surface are responsible
for small-scale convection at high latitudes, global overturning, and the top-to-bottom density …

The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system,
and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and …

Without deep mixing, the ocean would turn, within a few thousand years, into a stagnant
pool of cold salty water with equilibrium maintained locally by near-surface mixing and with …

Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid
components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first …

Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamics offers an introduction to several topics in
theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation …
