Fig. 3. σ-coordinates of G11 shown (black lines). Red-lines mark
the boundaries of the zones Z1,Z2 and Z3 (bottom to top). Blue line
gives initial profile of gravity current.
Fig. 5. Down-slope displacement of the centre of gravity of the
gravity current in the 2.5D experiments during the first 7 days of
the experiments. Vertical axis in metres and horizontal axis in days.
Fig. 4. Temperature structure (in C o ) in the simulation with convective
adjustment (G09). Coordinates give grid levels.
Fig. 6. Along-slope transport of the gravity current (normalised by
the initial geostrophic value) in the 2.5D experiments during the
first 7 days of the experiments.
