Analytical studies will be made of the relationship                     between finestructure and microstructure, using data obtained                   from the Caribbean Sheets and Layers Transects Experiment (C-                   Salt) and from the Patch Experiment (PATCHEX).  Optical                         observations in C-SALT revealed horizontal, rather than the                     expected vertical bands in regions favorable to salt fingers.                   Two analytical approaches will be used to investogate this                      phenomenon: fingers stretched and tilted by shear, and                          secondary instabilities due to horizontal intrusions.  The                      larger scale CTD data set will be used to investigate the                       relationship between layer thickness and other staircase                        properties with the objective of better quantifying the                         vertical salt flux and larger scale properties.  PATCHEX data                   will be used to investigate various aspects of shear                            instability and mixing, specifically the relationship between                   internal waves and the shear and strain fields.
