Variability in the Spreading Pathways of the Red Sea and Persian Gulf Outflows
Abstract
Our long-range objective is to understand the mechanisms that affect the spreading and mixing of marginal sea outflows. The Red Sea and Persian Gulf outflows flow over relatively shallow sills at low latitude into a strongly stratified oceanic environment. This makes them unique compared to most of the well-known outflows of the Atlantic Ocean, and valuable "laboratories" for testing ideas about what controls the mixing and spreading of marginal sea outflows.
