Multiscale methods for geophysical flows

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Investigating relevant turbulent processes at fundamental level is essential to understand geophysical flows in the atmosphere and oceans, and is critical for such varied purposes as weather forecasting, projecting climate change, and mitigating air pollution. Our current conceptual and technical tools are inadequate for explaining turbulence, and have yet to approach towards a comprehensive theory. Inadequate representation of interactions across multiple spatio-temporal scales in the atmosphere and oceans is one stumbling reason for poor performance of numerical models.
