MUCH MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE ONE CAN BE CERTAIN ABOUT THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENSUING FINGERING
COMPARED TO OTHER MECHANISMS FOR VERTICAL TRANSPORT. THE OCEANIC ANALOGY IS INSTRUCTIVE HERE: TWO DECADES OF INTERPLAY BETWEEN THEORY
TON ET AL. 1972 SHOWED THAT FOR CERTAIN CONDITIONS A BASE STATE OF UNIFORM VERTICAL GRADIENTS OF SALT AND TEMPERATURE IS INDEED UNSTABLE TO SMALL PERTURBATIONS. HOWEVER
