The main thermocline in the region east of Barbados shows a                  quasi-permanent vertical structure in the temperature and                       salinity profiles characterized by well mixed layers about 50m                  thick separated by thin layers of 1 to 10m with very strong                     gradients in these properties. This produces a staircase effect                 in the vertical profiles with horizontal coherent scales on the                 order of several hundred kilometers. Salt fingering and double                  diffusion are believed to be the dominant mixing mechanisms in                  this region.                                                                       Schmitt will analyze the data collected in this region during                the Caribbean Sheets and Layers Transects (CSALT) program. Salt                 fingers have been identified with optical microstructure instru-                ments but certain details differ considerably from theoretical                  predictions. Analytical and numerical models of microstructure,                 fine scale and large scale properties will be used. This study                  will be a valuable contribution towards our understanding of                    mixing in the ocean and formation of water masses.
