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…

A Stochastic Precipitating Quasi-Geostrophic Model

Nan Chen, Changhong Mou, Leslie M. Smith +1

Efficient and effective modeling of complex systems, incorporating cloud physics and precipitation, is essential for accurate climate modeling and forecasting. However, simulating…

Available potential vorticity and the wave-vortex decomposition for arbitrary stratification

Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +1

We consider a rotating non-hydrostatic flow with arbitrary stratification and argue that 1) the appropriate form of potential vorticity (PV) for this system is in terms of isopycna…
