Hydrodynamics of Convection Under Winter Polar Leads

Abstract

Because of large space and time scales involved, oceanic convective motions (which may take the form of plumes and thermals) are expected to be influenced by the background rotation. These rotational effects may arise either due to the earth's rotation or due to the presence of a parent cyclone. Thus, the understanding of oceanic convection requires a good knowledge on the influence of rotation on convection from isolated sources.
