A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented. While the
emphasis is on zonal flows in laboratory plasmas, planetary zonal flows are discussed as …

Drift waves occur universally in magnetized plasmas producing the dominant mechanism for
the transport of particles, energy and momentum across magnetic field lines. A wealth of …

We derive a weak turbulence formalism for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Three-
wave interactions lead to a system of kinetic equations for the spectral densities of energy …

In the early 1960s, it was established that the stochastic initial value problem for weakly
coupled wave systems has a natural asymptotic closure induced by the dispersive …

Zonal flows, which means azimuthally symmetric band-like shear flows, are ubiquitous
phenomena in nature and the laboratory. It is now widely recognized that zonal flows are a …

The problem of turbulence is one of the central problems in theoretical physics. While the
theory of fully developed turbulence has been widely studied, the theory of wave turbulence …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …

In the lowest order of approximation quasi‐two‐dimensional dynamics of planetary
atmospheres and of plasmas in a magnetic field can be described by a common convective …

This book develops the subject of nonlinear plasma physics from a general physics
perspective. It begins with a description of nonlinear oscillations, the parametric instability …

We investigate the steepening of the magnetic fluctuation power law spectra observed in the
inner Solar wind for frequencies higher than 0.5 Hz. This high frequency part of the spectrum …
