| While mean circulation in the Weddell Sea is primarily barotropic, it can be expected that sufficient deep vertical shear is present to vertically decouple a convection cell over periods up to years. |
|
| The fluid in a convection cell is entrained in the flow inside the cell, such that the fluid in the cell is isolated from the fluid in the environment. |
|
| Isolated from the surface and the bottom, the persisting remnant of the convection cell would be subject to attenuation through drag forces and loss of its baroclinic signature. |
|
| This cycle is repeated over and over to generate what scientists call a convection cell or convective flow. |
|
| The circular current that results is called a convection cell. |
|
| Because of the resulting uncertainty in forecasts of convection cell generation, ensemble forecast techniques must be employed to produce probabilistic forecasts. |
|
| However, if the colder material from the convection cell under the old margin were to get entrained into the upwelling at the ridge axis, the drop in temperature alone would decrease the melt delivered. |
|
| Concentration distributions are influenced by movements of water between layers and the formation of a large convection cell in the lowermost layer. |
