Zusammenfassung |
Using a fine resolution numerical model (40002 × 2 grid-points)
of the two-layer shallow-water equations of the mid-latitude β-plane
dynamics, it is shown that there is no sudden breakdown of balance in the
turbulent enstrophy cascade but a faint and continuous emission of inertia–gravity waves. The wave energy accumulates in the equator-ward region of the
domain due to the Coriolis parameter depending on the latitude and dispersion
relation of inertia–gravity waves. |
