“…As a result of sediment settling, they were shallower and denser and downslope velocities were much more pronounced as compared to water mass plumes. This is in agreement with the studies of Price and Baringer [1994], who investigated the effect of plume height and density on the dynamics. The most striking result of our studies was that sediment plumes, while descending on the slope, attained constant height and density anomaly relative to ambient water.…”

“…However, this mechanism does not consider temporal and alongshore variations, and thus its applicability to the actual oceans may be seriously limited. From this point of view, previous studies with stream-tube models [e.g., Smith, 1975; Killworth, 1977;Price and Baringer, 1994], which considered steady and/or alongshore-averaged properties, are likely to be insufficient to clarify the downslope transport process. Bathymetric features such as submarine canyons may play some roles in the downslope transport since it breaks down the geostrophic constraint by damming up the alongshore flow [Jungclaus and Backhaus, 1994].…”

“…However, such a problem has not been investigated thoroughly. Further, previous studies have not covered the range of bottom slope inclination expected in the slope regions of the Weddell Sea and the Denmark Strait, to which the inclination of 0.01 --• 0.03 is common [e.g., Price and Baringer, 1994]. In this study we have thus executed numerical experiments using a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic model to investigate baroclinic instability and the associated downslope transport of dense water, focusing on the effects of bottom slope for the actual range of its inclination.…”

“…This model, as well as refined versions, which take into account, for example, variable topography (Price and Baringer 1994), considers a stationary, laterally integrated stream-tube with variable cross-sectional area. Several applications showed that such a model is able to reproduce the pathway and the along-pathway evolution of water mass properties (e.g.…”
