Global cascade of kinetic energy in the ocean and the atmospheric imprint
Here, we present an estimate for the ocean's global scale transfer of kinetic energy (KE),
across scales from 10 to 40,000 km. Oceanic KE transfer between gyre scales and …

Kinetic energy transfers between mesoscale and submesoscale motions in the open ocean's upper layers
Mesoscale eddies contain the bulk of the ocean's kinetic energy (KE), but fundamental
questions remain on the cross-scale KE transfers linking eddy generation and dissipation …

Eddy activity in the Arctic Ocean projected to surge in a warming world
Ocean eddies play a critical role in climate and marine life. In the rapidly warming Arctic, little
is known about how ocean eddy activity will change because existing climate models cannot …

Quantifying 3D gravity wave drag in a library of tropical convection‐permitting simulations for data‐driven parameterizations
Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) span a broad range of length scales. As a result, the un‐
resolved and under‐resolved GWs have to be represented using a sub‐grid scale (SGS) …

Measuring scale-dependent shape anisotropy by coarse-graining: Application to inhomogeneous Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence
D Zhao, H Aluie - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We generalize the “filtering spectrum” to probe scales along different directions by spatial
