Inertia-gravity-wave scattering by three-dimensional geostrophic turbulence (2021)
Journal Article
Savva, M. A. C., Kafiabad, H. A., & Vanneste, J. (2021). Inertia-gravity-wave scattering by three-dimensional geostrophic turbulence. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 916, Article A6. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.205

In rotating stratified flows including in the atmosphere and ocean, inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) often coexist with geostrophically balanced turbulent flows. Advection and refraction by such flows lead to wave scattering, redistributing IGW energy in... Read More about Inertia-gravity-wave scattering by three-dimensional geostrophic turbulence.

Wave-averaged balance: a simple example (2021)
Journal Article

In the presence of inertia-gravity waves, the geostrophic and hydrostatic balance that characterises the slow dynamics of rapidly rotating, strongly stratified flows holds in a time-averaged sense and applies to the Lagrangian-mean velocity and buoya...
