Instability of Density Fronts in Layer and Continuously Stratified Models

The instability of density fronts is investigated as a possible generation mechanism of the small-scale, wave-like patterns observed along upwelling fronts and filaments. Solutions are obtained using three different models: a linearized 1½-layer model, a nonlinear 1½-layer model, and a linearized co...
