Mapping the Energy Cascade in the North Atlantic Ocean: The Coarse-Graining Approach (2017, methodology): “Yet a third possible definition, Π ` (x) = ρ0 [∇ · (uu`)] · u`, which we shall refer to as the “unsubtracted flux,” was used by Lindborg (2006); Brethouwer et al. (2007) and Molemaker and McWilliams (2010) in idealized geophysically relevant flows.”
Cascades and transitions in turbulent flows (2018, background): “Based on these results and using similarity arguments the following energy spectra were proposed in [319] ∫ EK(k‖, k⊥)dk⊥ ∝ N2k−3 ‖ and ∫ EK(k‖, k⊥)dk‖ ∝ ink ⊥ .”
Stratified Turbulence: A Possible Interpretation of Some Geophysical Turbulence Measurements (2007, methodology): “Reproduced with written permission from Ewart (1976). quasi-horizontal meandering motions, and for large enough Reynolds numbers, possess a strong downscale cascade of energy and the development of inertial ranges in horizontal spectra (Riley and deBruynKops 2003; Lindborg 2005, 2006).”
Scaling analysis and simulation of strongly stratified turbulent flows (2007, methodology): “The cascade of energy from large to small scales in stably stratified flows has now been confirmed by many independent studies (Lindborg 2002, 2006; Riley & deBruynKops 2003; Waite & Bartello 2004, 2006; Kitamura & Matsuda 2006).”
Review of wave‐turbulence interactions in the stable atmospheric boundary layer (2015, methodology): “In addition to lb, the length scale lw = 𝜎w∕N is often used to represent the turbulent mixing length in the stably stratified atmosphere where turbulent eddies are not directly interacting with the surface (z-less turbulence) [e.g., Hopfinger, 1987; Rehmann and Koseff , 2004; Lindborg, 2006].”
Submesoscale currents in the ocean (2016, background): “Furthermore, even in statistical-equilibrium, stratified turbulence without rotation but with small horizontal Froude number Frh =V/N 1, the same dual forward-cascade behaviour occurs [91], indicating that there is a seamless transition between intermediate scales with moderate Rok with important ro”
Mesoscale spectrum of atmospheric motions investigated in a very fine resolution global general circulation model (2008, background): “[5] There have been several recent high-resolution 3D primitive equation simulations of forced-dissipated rotatingstratified Boussinesq flows on an f-plane [Waite and Bartello, 2004; Lindborg, 2005, 2006; Kitamura and Matsuda, 2006; Lindborg and Brethouwer, 2007] that have produced a recognizable ”
