The optical distortion of a ruled vertical grating, when viewed through a layer of salt fingers, is described and discussed by a simple random walk model for a ray path. Intensity fluctuations are computed and the magnitude of the effect appears to be large enough to measure in the thin transition region separating the step-like structure of the main thermocline (Tait &amp; Howe, 1968).
