A laboratory study of slope flow induced by a surface salt flux
The salt expulsion caused by the freezing of seawater and the drainage of brine from the ice creates a convectively mixed layer, which extends to the bottom in shallow coastal regions. This buoyancy flux at the surface was simulated in laboratory experiments by percolating salt water through a porou...
