SUMMARY:Stratified turbulence: a possible interpretation of some geophysic
 al turbulence measurements - Riley\, JJ (Washington)

DESCRIPTION:Several existing sets of smaller-scale ocean and atmospheric d
 ata appear to display Kolmogorov-Obukov-Corrsin inertial ranges in horizon
 tal spectra for length scales up to at least a few hundred meters. It is a
 rgued here that these data are inconsistent with the assumptions for these
  inertial range theories. Instead\, it is hypothesized that the dynamics o
 f stratified turbulence explain these data. If valid\, these dynamics may 
 also explain the behavior of strongly stratified flows in similar dynamic 
 ranges of other geophysical flows.
