Frontogenesis in gravity-driven flows with non-uniform density gradients
A horizontal density gradient may be steepened to form a front if the horizontal flow which it drives is convergent. This convergence may be caused by an initial nonlinearity in the density gradient (as described by Simpson & Linden 1989). A quadratic density profile is analysed to illustrate th...
