Convection Processes in the Ocean - Laboratory and Theoretical Studies

Abstract

The long-term goal is to make observations in the laboratory and conduct associated theory of a number of processes important in the ocean. The objectives are to produce a design for laboratory experiments or to theoretically answer questions raised in trying to understand two processes: a. Multiple state problems in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and b. Boundary layers in rotating stratified fluid.
