The instability of diffusive convection and its implication for the thermohaline staircases in the deep Arctic Ocean
In the present study, the classical description of diffusive convection is updated to interpret the instability of diffusive interfaces and the dynamical evolution of the bottom layer in the deep Arctic Ocean. In the new consideration of convective instability, both the background salinity stratific...
