Unraveling the Dynamical Interactions Between Mesoscales and Submesoscales in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Explore the complex interactions between mesoscales and submesoscales in geophysical fluid dynamics through this informative conference talk. Delve into the intricate dynamics of Earth's climate system, focusing on atmospheric and oceanic processes that span multiple temporal and spatial scales. Gain insights into energy transfers across various scale regimes and their crucial role in understanding the global energy cycle. Learn about the challenges in quantifying these transfers and the importance of combining analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements to advance our understanding of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics. Discover how this research contributes to addressing open questions in energy-consistent closure for ocean and climate models, which heavily rely on parameterizations of turbulent mixing and instabilities. This talk is part of a comprehensive two-week program covering multi-scale and multi-physics topics in geophysical fluid dynamics, including eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, frontal dynamics, energy transfers, parameterizations, data science, and stochastic aspects of climate modeling.
