Short summary
Dense water created in high latitude regions flows at the bottom of the ocean, from one basin to the next, and contributes to the global ocean circulation. The flow between shallow and deeper basins occurs at straits such as the Faeroe Bank Channel as underwater streams of dense water. Their representation in ocean models is problematic. In the present article, we use a mathematical formulation of dense water plumes to show that the representation of these dense overflows can be improved.
