Meltwater transport and mixing-layer growth near the ice–ocean interface

Ice melting into saline water plays a fundamental role in the dynamics near the ice–ocean interface in polar oceans. The physics of meltwater transport involves a non-trivial interplay between the thermodynamics at the interface, hydrodynamic transport in the bulk and the propert...
