Links between Eddy Horizontal and Vertical Structure: A Geostrophic Turbulence Perspective

Explore the connections between eddy horizontal and vertical structure through a geostrophic turbulence perspective in this 28-minute conference talk by Elizabeth Yankovsky. Delivered as part of the "Theoretical and Practical Perspectives in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, delve into the complex world of geophysical fluid dynamics. Gain insights into the multi-scale interactions and energy transfers that dictate Earth's climate, focusing on atmospheric and oceanic dynamics. Examine topics such as eddies, waves, turbulence, instabilities, and frontal dynamics, while considering their implications for energy-consistent closure in ocean and climate models. Benefit from a comprehensive approach that combines analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements to advance understanding of these critical processes.
