Abstract The feasibility of using high-frequency acoustic scattering techniques to map the extent and evolution of the diffusive regime of double-diffusive convection in the ocean is explored. A scattering model developed to describe acoustic scattering from double-diffusive interfaces in the laboratory, which accounted for much of the measured scattering in the frequency range from 200 to 600 kHz, is used in conjunction with published in situ observations of diffusive-convection interfaces to make predictions of acoustic scattering from oceanic double-diffusive interfaces. Detectable levels of acoustic scattering are predicted for a range of different locations in the world’s oceans. To corroborate these results, thin acoustic layers detected near the western Antarctic Peninsula using a multifrequency acoustic backscattering system are shown to be consistent with scattering from diffusive-convection interfaces.

Abstract The effect of high frequency vibration in the gravity field on the double-diffusive convection in a two-layer system with a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer is studied. The averaging method is employed to split the unknown functions into a periodic rapidly varying part and a slower mean part. Then, the governing equation of perturbations is numerically solved by the Chebyshev tau method and QZ decomposition method. The influence of physical parameters on the stability of system is investigated. It is shown that the neutral stability curves are bimodal under high frequency vibration. The parameter of the high frequency vibration mainly stabilizes the pure fluid layer for greater wave numbers and has a weak impact on the whole system for smaller wave numbers.
