Direct numerical simulations of diffusive staircases in the Arctic

Approved for public release, distribution unlimited === The vertical transport of heat by the diffusive layer in the Arctic thermocline is a critical element of the high-latitude climate, and yet, after decades of research, the extant estimates remain highly controversial. Laboratory-based estimates...
