Abstract

Radko’s recent article (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 805, 2016, pp. 147–170) entitled Thermohaline layering in dynamically and diffusively stable shear flows, is slated to become a seminal reference in the field of fluid dynamics. It proposes an elegant solution to the long-standing question of why thermohaline staircases form in the high-latitude oceans. Equally importantly, it provides a rare and interesting example of how two physical processes that are both strongly stable when considered individually, can trigger a linear instability when they interact.
