Inverse Transfer and Coherence in Rotating Stratified Flow with Clouds and Phase Transitions
Yeyu Zhang, Yingshuo Peng, Leslie M. Smith
Inverse energy transfer to large-scale coherent structures in idealized models of geophysical flows has been of interest for over four decades. Extensive knowledge exists regarding…

Measuring fluxes between wave and geostrophic features in rotating non-hydrostatic flows with variable stratification
Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +2
A challenge in physical oceanography is quantifying the energy content of waves and balanced flows and the fluxes that connect these reservoirs with their sources and sinks. Method…

On a wave kinetic equation with resonance broadening in oceanography and atmospheric sciences
Young Ho Kim, Yuri V. Lvov, Leslie M. Smith +1
In this work, we study a three-wave kinetic equation with resonance broadening arising from the theory of stratified ocean flows. Unlike Gamba-Smith-Tran(On the wave turbulence the…
