Abstract

Experiments in mixing steadily at one end of a laboratory tank an upper fresh water with a lower salt water layer demonstrate surface and bottom movements to the mixing area and an intermediate movement of mixed water away from it, which correspond with observations made in an inlet of the sea into which fresh water discharges. If fresh water is merely added at the mixing area to the tank containing salt water, the outward movement is at the surface, and there is no inward surface movement.
