A geometric interpretation of zonostrophic instability
Georgios Kontogiannis, Nikolaos Bakas
The zonostrophic instability that leads to the emergence of zonal jets in barotropic beta-plane turbulence was analyzed through a geometric decomposition of the eddy stress tensor.…

Is spontaneous generation of coherent baroclinic flows possible?
Nikolaos A. Bakas, Petros J. Ioannou
Geophysical turbulence is observed to self-organize into large-scale flows such as zonal jets and coherent vortices. Previous studies on barotropic beta-plane turbulence have shown…

Statistical state dynamics of weak jets in barotropic beta-plane turbulence
Nikolaos A. Bakas, Navid C. Constantinou, Petros J. Ioannou
Zonal jets in a barotropic setup emerge out of homogeneous turbulence through a flow-forming instability of the homogeneous turbulent state (`zonostrophic instability') which occur…
