    Abstract
    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.

      The role of double diffusion in a Gulf Stream frontal intrusion 

      Williams, Albert J. (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-05)
      Double diffusive convection is possible where large vertical gradients in temperature and salinity tend to compensate in density. Frontal intrusions have these large gradients and can provide the possibility for a salt ...

      A double-diffusive interface tank for dynamic-response studies 

      Schmitt, Raymond W.; Millard, Robert C.; Toole, John M.; Wellwood, W. David (Sears Foundation for Marine Research, 2005-01)
      A large tank capable of long-term maintenance of a sharp temperature-salinity interface has been developed and applied to measurements of the dynamical response of oceanographic sensors. A two-layer salt-stratified system ...

      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 ...
