Laboratory Determination of Salt-Fingering Fluxes of Heat, Salt and Momentum

在本项目中，PI将进行双扩散盐指对流的实验室研究，以确定稳定分层、双扩散分层状态下的T和S通量定律。以前的这类研究局限于“耗尽”实验，在这些实验中确定的通量数量级太大，无法应用于海洋。拟议的实验将在保持边界条件的情况下进行，这是一种更现实的海洋比较情况。

In this project, the PI will conduct a laboratory study of double diffusive salt finger convection to determine the T and S flux laws in a stably stratified, doubly diffusive stratified regime. Previous such studies have been confined to `run down` experiments, in which fluxes an order of magnitude too large for ocean application were determined. The proposed experiment would be conducted with maintained boundary conditions, a much more realistic situation for ocean comparison.
