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 ”
Wave–vortex decomposition of one-dimensional ship-track data (2014, background): “…nonlinear regime one would also encounter stratified turbulence, a broad subject heading describing three-dimensionally turbulent flows that are significantly modified by, and interact with, the stable stratification (e.g. Smith & Waleffe 2002; Waite & Bartello 2004; Riley & Lindborg 2008).”
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).”
The energy cascade in a strongly stratified fluid (2006, methodology): “In three recent numerical studies (Smith & Waleffe 2002; Laval et al. 2003; Waite & Bartello 2004) of strongly stratified turbulence it has been observed that there is a weak growth of kinetic energy in modes for which kρ = 0, or so called ‘shear modes’.”
