The diffusive regime of double-diffusive convection is discussed, with a particular focus on unresolved issues that are holding up the development of large-scale parameterizations. Some of these issues, such as interfacial transports and layer-interface interactions, may be studied in isolation. Laboratory work should help with these. However, we must also face more difficult matters that relate to oceanic phenomena that are not represented easily in the laboratory. These lie beneath some fundamental questions about how double-diffusive structures are formed in the ocean, and how they evolve in the competitive ocean environment.

BOUNDARY CURRENT INSTABILITIES, UPWELLING, SHELF MIXING AND EUTROPHICATION PROCESSES IN THE BLACK-SEA SUR, HI; OZSOY, E; UNLUATA, U (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-01) Satellite and in situ data are utilized to investigate the mesoscale dynamics of the Black Sea boundary current system with special emphasis on aspects of transport and productivity. The satellite data are especially helpful in capturing rapid sub-mesoscale motions insufficiently resolved by the in situ measurements.
Controls on carbon export in the subtropical North Atlantic Yumruktepe, Veli Caglar; Salihoğlu, Barış; Neuer, Susanne (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) We present a lower trophic level pelagic ecosystem model that allows the investigation of the role of hydrography, bacterial remineralization and detritus consumption on the strength of carbon export and its attenuation. We apply the model to investigate the controls on the carbon export at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study site (BATS) and the European Station for Time series in the Ocean, Canary Islands (ESTOC) in the subtropical North Atlantic. In previous field studies, export ratios at 200 m (the r...
The role of mesoscale processes controlling biological variability in the Black Sea coastal waters: inferences from SeaWIFS-derived surface chlorophyll field Oguz, T; Deshpande, AG; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P (Elsevier BV, 2002-06-01) Several different time series of chlorophyll images from the 1997-2000 Seaviewing, Wide Field-of-view Sensor data set have been analysed to gain a perspective on the dynamical and biological variability in the Black Sea, particularly oil its northwestern shelf region and along the Anatolian coastal zone. The images are interpreted in terms of documenting the close link between biological production and physical dynamics of the boundary system, and of emphasizing the role of eddy processes on controlling mes...
CIRCULATION AND HYDROGRAPHY OF THE LEVANTINE BASIN - RESULTS OF POEM COORDINATED EXPERIMENTS 1985-1986 OZSOY, E; HECHT, A; UNLUATA, U (Elsevier BV, 1989-01-01) A brief review of the meteorological setting, hydrography and the circulation in the Levantine Basin of the Eastern Mediterranean is given. The recent high resolution data obtained in POEM coordinated experiments of 1985–1986 are then used to optimally estimate the circulation in the basin in two different seasons and to describe the water mass distributions. Some of the features observed during the experiments support the historical knowledge on the locations of sub-basin scale gyres and the general circul...
Development and application of a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate semi-implicit hydrodynamic model Sankaranarayanan, S.; Ward, Matthew C. (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01) The Late Quaternary sedimentation and structural features of the continental shelf of Antalya Bay (SW Turkey) have been investigated using a single channel high-resolution shallow profiling system. Two seismic units denoted as unit 1 and unit 2 bounded by two major unconformities (R-1 and R-2) have been identified. R-1 and R-2 are type-1 sequence boundaries that formed under sub-aerial conditions during the Late Quaternary sea level lowstands. An acoustic basement (AB) is recognized in the study region; it ...
