Submesoscale currents in the ocean

JC McWilliams - Proceedings of the Royal Society A …, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

The turbulent structure of the Arctic summer boundary layer during the Arctic summer cloud‐ocean study

IM Brooks, M Tjernström, POG Persson… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The mostly ice covered Arctic Ocean is dominated by low‐level liquid‐or mixed‐phase
clouds. Turbulence within stratocumulus is primarily driven by cloud top cooling that induces …

Dimensional transition in rotating turbulence

E Deusebio, G Boffetta, E Lindborg, S Musacchio - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
In this work we investigate, by means of direct numerical hyperviscous simulations, how
rotation affects the bidimensionalization of a turbulent flow. We study a thin layer of fluid …

Turbulence in stratified atmospheres: implications for the intracluster medium

R Mohapatra, C Federrath… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The gas motions in the intracluster medium (ICM) are governed by turbulence. However,
since the ICM has a radial profile with the centre being denser than the outskirts, ICM …

How does subgrid‐scale parametrization influence nonlinear spectral energy fluxes in global NWP models?

S Malardel, NP Wedi - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The paper examines horizontal wind variance (kinetic energy spectra) and available
potential energy spectra in simulations conducted with a state‐of‐the‐art global numerical …

[HTML][HTML] A new formulation of the spectral energy budget of the atmosphere, with application to two high-resolution general circulation models

P Augier, E Lindborg - Journal of the atmospheric sciences, 2013 - journals.ametsoc.org
A new formulation of the spectral energy budget of kinetic and available potential energies
of the atmosphere is derived, with spherical harmonics as base functions. Compared to …

Spectral budget of rotational and divergent kinetic energy in global analyses

To study the multiscale interactions between rotational and divergent components of
atmospheric motion, a new formulation of spectral budget of rotational kinetic energy (RKE) …

Large-scale anisotropy in stably stratified rotating flows

R Marino, PD Mininni, DL Rosenberg, A Pouquet - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We present results from direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations in the
presence of rotation and/or stratification, both in the vertical direction. The runs are forced …

Near-inertial waves and geostrophic turbulence

J Thomas, S Arun - Physical Review Fluids, 2020 - APS
Wind-forced near-inertial waves form a high-energy wave component in the upper ocean.
The weakly dispersive nature of these large horizontal and small vertical scale waves make …
