A meeting to review research progress on double-diffusive phenomena in the ocean was held September 26-29, 1989, at the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution. Twenty-five oral presentations were made and a number of discussion sessions were held. This
report contains manuscripts provided by meeting participants, summaries of the discussion sessions and an extensive bibliography on oceanic double-diffusion. Since double-diffusive processes appear to play an important role in ocean mixing, further research in this field should have high priority. It is hoped that this update on the status of our current understanding will facilitate planning of additional research.

Laboratory observations of double-diffusive convection using high-frequency broadband acoustics
Ross, Tetjana; Lavery, Andone C. (2008-09)High-frequency broadband (200-300 kHz) acoustic scattering techniques have been used to observe the diffusive regime of double-diffusive convection in the laboratory. Pulse compression signal processing techniques allow ... -
Ice-Tethered Profiler observations of the double-diffusive staircase in the Canada Basin thermocline
Timmermans, Mary-Louise; Toole, John M.; Krishfield, Richard A.; Winsor, Peter (American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-17)Six Ice-Tethered Profilers (ITP), deployed in the central Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean between 2004 and 2007, have provided detailed potential temperature and salinity measurements of a double-diffusive staircase at ... -
Spatial variability of the Arctic Ocean's double-diffusive staircase
Shibley, Nicole C.; Timmermans, Mary-Louise; Carpenter, Jeffrey R.; Toole, John M. (John Wiley & Sons, 2017-02-08)The Arctic Ocean thermohaline stratification frequently exhibits a staircase structure overlying the Atlantic Water Layer that can be attributed to the diffusive form of double-diffusive convection. The staircase consists ...
