Recent Developments in Understanding Two-dimensional Turbulence and the Nastrom-Gage Spectrum
نویسنده
چکیده
Two-dimensional turbulence appears to be a more formidable problem than three-dimensional turbulence despite the numerical advantage of working with one less dimension. In the present paper we review recent numerical investigations of the phenomenology of two-dimensional turbulence as well as recent theoretical breakthroughs by various leading researchers. We also review efforts to reconcile the observed energy spectrum of the atmosphere (the spectrum) with the predictions of two-dimensional turbulence and quasigeostrophic turbulence.

Comment on: “The k−3 and k−5/3 energy spectrum of atmospheric turbulence: Quasigeostrophic two-level model simulation”
Recently, Tung and Orlando (2003, hereafter TO) proposed a new explanation for the observed spectra of atmospheric turbulence reported originally by Nastrom and Gage (1985). The present comment is intended to expand on some issues not considered explicitly by TO, and to contrast the modeling philosophy taken by TO relative to that implicitly invoked in most numerical QG studies. In particular, ...
متن کاملREPLY to “ Two comments on the Surface Quasigeostrophic model for the atmospheric energy spectrum , ” submitted to JAS by E . Lindborg
Surface quasigeostrophic turbulence (Held et al. 1995) is not an exotic geophysical effect, but rather a generic description of quasigeostrophic turbulence at vertical surfaces of sharp change in the mean environment (vertical boundaries are an extreme example). Tulloch and Smith (2006, 2008) argued that surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) effects are consistent with many perplexing features of the ...

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) belong to the pervasive neurodevelopmental disorders. The prevalence of ASD has increased significantly throughout recent decades, bringing the overall estimated prevalence to 11.3 per 1000 children. ASD is characterized by severe difficulties in reciprocal social interaction, stereotyped patterns of behavior and profound impairments in verbal and n...
متن کاملPET vs. SPECT: in the context of ongoing developments
This paper intends to compare the abilities of the two major imaging modalities in nuclear medicine imaging: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). The motivations are many-fold: (i) To gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the two imaging modalities in the context of recent and ongoing developments in hardware ...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann Method Application on Headwater at Lata Kinjang Waterfall, Malaysia
Headwater accident is a natural phenomenon that occurs in every flow channel, resulting in tremendous incidents that involve vulnerable lives and destruction of its surroundings. This study focuses on simulation of potential headwater accidents at Lata Kinjang waterfall (Perak, Malaysia) with the aim of understanding the behavior of headwater accidents from the hydraulic aspect. By deploying th...
