SUMMARY:The interplay of waves and turbulence - Prof. Peter Davidson

DESCRIPTION:Nearly all large-scale geophysical flows are turbulent\, while
  being subject a strong background rotation and/or stratification. This ro
 tation or stratification allows an incompressible fluid to sustain interna
 l wave motion\, maintained by the Coriolis and buoyancy forces. Thus large
 -scale geophysical flows are characterised by the interplay between waves 
 and turbulence. In particular the waves organise and shape the turbulence 
 by dispersing energy in the form of wave packets. In this talk I focus on 
 the case of rotating turbulence.
