The Formation of Double‐Diffusive Layers in a Weakly Turbulent Environment

Double‐diffusive stratification in the ocean is characterized by staircase structures consisting of mixed layers separated by high‐gradient interfaces in temperature and salinity. These double‐diffusive layers, which flux heat vertically, are observed over a vast region of the Arctic Ocean at the to...
