Global cascade of kinetic energy in the ocean and the atmospheric imprint
Here, we present an estimate for the ocean's global scale transfer of kinetic energy (KE),
across scales from 10 to 40,000 km. Oceanic KE transfer between gyre scales and …

Eddy activity in the Arctic Ocean projected to surge in a warming world
Ocean eddies play a critical role in climate and marine life. In the rapidly warming Arctic, little
is known about how ocean eddy activity will change because existing climate models cannot …

Diffusion‐based smoothers for spatial filtering of gridded geophysical data
We describe a new way to apply a spatial filter to gridded data from models or observations,
focusing on low‐pass filters. The new method is analogous to smoothing via diffusion, and …

Measuring scale-dependent shape anisotropy by coarse-graining: Application to inhomogeneous Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence
D Zhao, H Aluie - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
We generalize the “filtering spectrum” to probe scales along different directions by spatial
coarse-graining. This multidimensional filtering spectrum quantifies the spectral content of …

Evidence of dual energy transfer driven by magnetic reconnection at subion scales
The properties of energy transfer in the kinetic range of plasma turbulence have
fundamental implications on the turbulent heating of space and astrophysical plasmas. It …

Seasonality of the mesoscale inverse cascade as inferred from global scale-dependent eddy energy observations
Oceanic mesoscale motions including eddies, meanders, fronts, and filaments comprise a
dominant fraction of oceanic kinetic energy and contribute to the redistribution of tracers in …
