Convective and dynamic instability in meridional trenches

Auteur :
MURATOV, L. F.

Description :
The mathematical model of Raleigh convection on the rotating Earth in deep-water ocean depression is generalized for the case including the meridional temperature gradient. Critical parameters determining the convection are calculated for the Kuril-Kamchatka and Japan trenches. It was noted that dynamic stability condition in bottom layers of these trenches vary within tidal cycle. Interest to the problem of water stability in deep-sea basins was stimulated by discussion on possibility to bury radioactive wastes in them.
