Spectral evolution of two-layer weak geostrophic turbulence. Part I: Typical scenarios
Long-time evolution of large-scale geophysical flows is considered in a <i>β</i>-plane approximation. Motions in an infinite 2-layer model ocean are treated as a system of weakly nonlinear Rossby waves (weak geostrophic turbulence). The evolution of the energy spectrum...
