Abstract
In case of one forces the sea surface layer water and jets it into the deeper layer, the forced plume entrains the ambient water and forms a newly mixed water body, whose density is greater than the surface water and less than the ambient water. It ascends to the position where the density is coincident with the continuously stratified layer's. Thus, a part of the deep seawater can be drawn up as a mixed water body. A mechanism is considered that compels the lesser density water into greater density one by the equilibrium of the water pressures. The lesser density column pressure is enforced by upraised water due to wave energy.
