Between the Persian Gulf saline waters and the lower salinity of water from the Oman Sea, the salinity front is formed in the Persian Gulf, which changes seasonally. In this study, using the HYCOM numerical model, the salinity front and the eddy formed along the salinity front Been investigated. The model was launched from rest from the beginning of 2011 to the end of 2015, and the 2015 results were selected for discussion.
The salinity front appear to be prone baroclinic instability and mainly appears in the summer months (with a strong density stratification) in the form of cyclonic eddies (saline center) and anticyclonies (sweet center), which peak in August. From the results of the model, the anti-cascade process of the energy spectrum occurs during August-September, in agreement with the two-dimensional turbulence spectrum anistropy diagram
