Other Density Circulation Phenomena
Inversion
• Put warm salt water in one reservoir and cold fresh water in the other reservoir to observe the phenomenon of temperature
inversion. In an estuary, cold fresh water will sometimes “float” on top of warm salt water.
Convection
• Fill both reservoirs with the same temperature or same salinity of water. Add a few drops of food coloring. Shine a light on one
reservoir to observe the convection of the water
