The primary reason for the inhomogeneity is heat radiation. At the equator, both ocean and atmosphere gain heat from the sun. Near the poles, the ocean loses heat to the atmosphere, while the atmosphere radiates heat into space at all latitudes. Ocean density is also governed by salinity. All of these processes create inhomogeneities which, under the action of gravity, tend to rearrange themselves into horizontal layers. We therefore say that these fluids are “density-stratified,” or just “stratified.” Based on our experience","PeriodicalId":276093,"journal":{"name":"Instability in Geophysical Flows","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122765719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real geophysical fluids may be much more complicated than this. For example, buoyancy may be controlled by two or more scalar constituents with different chemical properties, or by phase changes (e.g., freezing). The equation of state may include nonlinearities; for example, a mixture of two constituents may be lighter or denser than either constituent individually. The scalars that control buoyancy may have complex properties such as being alive. All of these properties affect the stability of the fluid. In this chapter we consider a few simple examples in which buoyancy changes lead to convection.","PeriodicalId":276093,"journal":{"name":"Instability in Geophysical Flows","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125647780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
