Gravity currents in the cabbeling regime
Andrew Grace | Marek Stastna | Kevin G. Lamb | K. Andrea Scott | Andrew Grace | Marek Stastna | Kevin G. Lamb | K. Andrea Scott

Freshwater has been shown to have a maximum density at about four degrees Celsius, and this leads to a phenomenon known as cabbeling. Cabbeling occurs when masses of water on different sides of the temperature of maximum density mix and create a denser mass. What happens when intruding and ambient temperatures in a gravity current are on opposite sides of the temperature of maximum density? How does cabbeling affect the evolution characteristics of gravity currents, and what sort of long term behavior arises?
