Thermohaline buoyancy: b = -g·(ρ-ρ₀)/ρ₀

Layer 1 — Physicsin the ocean-physics subtree

Buoyancy per unit mass b = -g·(ρ-ρ₀)/ρ₀ is the net body force acting on a fluid parcel of density ρ immersed in a reference density ρ₀, arising from the Archimedes principle: the parcel experiences gravitational force -g·ρ per unit volume…
