“…Such layering has already been observed in the same region; it may be due to different processes: double diffusion (Ghazi et al, 2017;Azizpour et al, 2017), salt fingering, convective diffusion (Schmitt, 1994), stirring by the eddy flow or breaking of internal waves generated on the shelf. Salt mixing in and near the eddies is thus responsible in part for the salinity distribution in the composite eddy.…”

“…In the Arabian Sea, the outflows enter a well-stratified upper ocean, injecting salty and warm waters into the thermohaline structure, possibly leading double diffusive instability (Azizpour et al, 2017). Stability properties can be estimated by the density ratio (Turner, 1979)…”

The northwestern Indian Ocean, encompassing the Arabian Sea, is a region where water masses with various characteristics interact with each other. Two of them, exhibiting high salinity values, originate from semi-closed basins subject to important evaporation: the Red Sea and Persian Gulf (Cember, 1988;Yao & Johns, 2010). As these outflows spread out of their basins of formation, in the Gulf of Aden and Oman (see Figure 1 for locations), they plunge and are diluted, losing salt and heat, and equilibrate (Prasad et al., 2001;Shapiro & Meschanov, 1991). Nevertheless, traces of the Red Sea Water (RSW) and Persian Gulf Water (PGW) are still found in the Indian Ocean, leaking toward the Atlantic Ocean (Durgadoo et al., 2017) and even more substantially to the neighboring Bay of Bengal (Sheehan et al., 2020). Across the Arabian Sea,

“…According to the bathymetry data provided by the National Cartographic Center of Iran, the maximum depth in this shallow channel reaches to 42 m in a trench at its narrowest section. Results of moored current meters measurements by Azizpour and Siadatmousavi [1]in the Strait of Hormuz showed that tidal currents have the main contributions in the observed current throughout the water column in this area. The tides in the Strait of Hormuz and consequently in the KCh are co-oscillate those in the northern Indian Ocean [2].The tidal current in the KCh is directed westward during flood and eastward during ebb.…”

The Khuran Channel, Southern Iran (26°45'N), is a topographically complex channel which is open at both ends. Owning to its particular geometry, this narrow channel is subjected to strong tidal currents. Across-channel distribution of the mean and tidal flows were obtained over a semidiurnal tidal cycle in the Khuran Channel where the highest tidal velocity in the third day of the secondary spring tide exceeded 140 cm/s. Velocity profiles were obtained using a 614.4 kHz Teledyne RDI Workhorse Broadband ADCP over 13 repetitions of a cross-channel transect. The 3.1 km long transect ran north/south across the channel. The M2frequencywas separated from the observed current using sinusoidal form functions and the least square regression analysis. Contrary to the previous study in this channel, the mean inflow observed in the deep parts of the channel and mean outflow occurs over the shallow slopes, with the maximum magnitudes (15-20cm/s) near the surface in the north side. The maximum lateral shear and convergence were found over slopes located between the middle and the north side of the channel.
