The diffusive regime of double-diffusive convection is reviewed, with a particular focus on 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 easily represented 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.

Abstract:The ice edge of the Barents Sea east of Svalbard is an area where the warm, salty water of the North Atlantic (AtW) interacts with cold, less dense, saline Arctic water (ArW) and the water produced by melting ice (MIW). Many of the CTD profiles (CTD stands for Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) obtained in this region by Norwegian Polar Institute expeditions in 1999 and 2007 contain layers that are quasi-homogeneous in temperature, salinity and density between the depths of 5-7 m to 100-150 m. It is shown that these features are formed by convective instability due to double-diffusion, which can occur where there are positive vertical gradients of both temperature and salinity, as is observed in this region. The rate of development and the thickness of the gradient layer depend on vertical temperature and salinity drops in the zone of interaction of AtW with ArW and MIW. They correspond well, characterized by a correlation coefficient of 0.96.

“…When both T and the mean salinity S increase from the ocean surface toward the bottom, the result is cold fresh water over warm salty water. The S Ðeld is stable, the T Ðeld is unstable (heavy at the top), and one refers to the phenomenon as di †usive convection (Turner & Stommel 1964 ;Turner 1973 ;Marmorino & Caldwell 1976 ;Turner 1985 ;Kelley 1984Kelley , 1990Schmitt 1994). Examples are several lakes, water underneath an ice island, and the Red Sea.…”
