The application of adaptive mesh techniques to convective processes in oceanography

Idealised numerical simulations of two oceanographic processes, salt finger formation and the restratification phase of open ocean deep convection, are considered. These processes are modelled using the Imperial College Ocean Model (Fluidity-ICOM). This is a finite element code with the novel capabi...
