Turbulent flows are characterized by the non-linear cascades of energy and other inviscid
invariants across a huge range of scales, from where they are injected to where they are …

Oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are often interpreted through potential vorticity, as this
quantity is conserved along the geostrophic flow. However, in addition to potential vorticity …

Chaos: from simple models to complex systems aims to guide science and engineering
students through chaos and nonlinear dynamics from classical examples to the most recent …

Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part II: Frontal
Processes in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 38 Issue 1 (2008) Jump to …

Dust storms are typical dispersed two-phase atmospheric turbulence involving electrified
charged dust particles. Previous observations have demonstrated that clean-air atmospheric …

The relevance of surface quasi-geostrophic dynamics (SQG) to the upper ocean and the
atmospheric tropopause has been recently demonstrated in a wide range of conditions …

We offer a new example of conformal invariance (local scale invariance) far from equilibrium—
the inverse cascade of surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) turbulence. We show that …

Upper-ocean turbulent flows at horizontal length scales smaller than the deformation radius
depart from geostrophic equilibrium and develop important vertical velocities, which are key …

The Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (Richtmyer, Commun. Pure Appl. Maths, vol. 13, issue 2,
1960, pp. 297–319; Meshkov, Fluid Dyn., vol. 4, issue 5, 1972, pp. 101–104) of a twice …

Direct numerical simulation results for a range of relative dispersion statistics over Taylor-
scale Reynolds numbers up to 650 are presented in an attempt to observe and quantify …
