A quantitative scaling theory for meridional heat transport in planetary atmospheres and oceans
Basile Gallet, Raffaele Ferrari
The meridional temperature profile of the upper layers of planetary atmospheres is set through a balance between differential radiative heating by a nearby star, or by intrinsic he…

The vortex gas scaling regime of baroclinic turbulence
Basile Gallet, Raffaele Ferrari
The mean state of the atmosphere and ocean is set through a balance between external forcing (winds, radiation, heat and freshwater fluxes) and the emergent turbulence, which trans…
