Purpose:

To analyze the rotation effects on the overall transport in turbulent, buoyant plumes in stratified environments with special emphasis on the Ro=10 case corresponding to typical oceanic conditions.

Data Parameters and Units:

The whole set is in non-dimensional units. Buoyancy flux (m^4/s^3), Buoyancy frequency (1/s), Thermal expansion coefficient (1/K), Gravity acceleration (m/s^2)
