For several decades, jets and fronts have been known from observations to be significant
sources of internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. Motivations to investigate these waves …

The large-scale dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere and ocean is characterized by a
timescale separation between slow balanced motion and fast inertia-gravity waves. As a …

Inertia–Gravity Waves Spontaneously Generated by Jets and Fronts. Part I: Different
Baroclinic Life Cycles in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 64 Issue 7 (2007) …

How turbulent convective fluctuations organize to form larger-scale structures in planetary
atmospheres remains a question that eludes quantitative answers. The assumption that this …

The problems of identifying the slow component (eg, for weather forecast initialization) and
of characterizing slow–fast interactions are central to geophysical fluid dynamics. In this …

Intensive radiosonde observations were performed at Syowa Station (69.0° S, 39.6° E) over
about 10 days in each of March, June, October, and December 2002 to examine inertia …

Inertia–Gravity Waves Emitted from Balanced Flow: Observations, Properties, and
Consequences in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 65 Issue 11 (2008) Jump to …

We study and elucidate the mechanism of spiral density wave excitation in a differentially
rotating flow with turbulence which could result from the magneto-rotational instability. We …

Vortex dipoles provide a simple representation of localized atmospheric jets. Numerical
simulations of a synoptic-scale dipole in surface potential temperature are considered in a …

The spontaneous generation of inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) by surface-intensified, nearly
balanced motion is examined using a high-resolution simulation of the primitive equations in …
