    • Observational validation of the diffusive convection flux laws in the Amundsen Basin, Arctic Ocean 

      Guthrie, John D.; Fer, Ilker; Morison, James H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12)
      The low levels of mechanically driven mixing in many regions of the Arctic Ocean make double diffusive convection virtually the only mechanism for moving heat up from the core of Atlantic Water towards the surface. In an ...
