The behaviour of turbulent flows within the single-layer quasi-geostrophic (Charney--Hasegawa--Mima) model is shown to be strongly dependent on the Rossby deformation wavenumber $lambda$ (or free-surface elasticity). Herein, we derive a bound on the inverse energy transfer, specifically on the growth rate $dell/dt$ of the characteristic length scale $ell$ representing the energy centroid. It is found that $dell/dtle2 orm q_infty/(ell_slambda^2)$, where $ orm q_infty$ is the supremum of the potential vorticity and $ell_s$ represents the potential enstrophy centroid of the reservoir, both invariant. This result implies that in the potential energy dominated regime ($ellgeell_sgglambda^{-1}$), the inverse energy transfer is strongly impeded, in the sense that under the usual time scale no significant transfer of energy to larger scales occurs. The physical implication is that the elasticity of the free surface impedes turbulent energy transfer in wavenumber space, effectively rendering large-scale vortices long-lived and inactive. Results from numerical simulations of forced-dissipative turbulence confirm this prediction.

Atmospheric dynamics span a range of time-scales. The projection of measured data to a slow manifold, ${cal M}$, removes fast gravity waves from the initial state for numerical simulations of the atmosphere. We explore further the slow manifold for a
simple atmospheric model introduced by Lorenz and anticipate that our results will relevant to the vastly more detailed dynamics of atmospheres and oceans. Within the dynamics of the Lorenz model, we make clear the relation between a slow manifold $cal M$ and the ``slowest invariant manifold ({SIM}), which was constructed by Lorenz in order to avoid the divergence of approximation schemes for $cal M$. These manifolds are shown to be identical to within exponentially small terms, and so the {SIM} in fact shares the asymptotic nature of $cal M$. We also investigate the issue of balancing initial data in order to remove gravity waves. This is a question of how to compute an ``initialized point on $cal M$ whose subsequent evolution matches that from the measured initial data that in general lie off $cal M$. We propose a choice based on the intuitive idea that the initialization procedure should not significantly alter the forecast. Numerical results demonstrate the utility of our initialization scheme. The normal form for Lorenz atmospheric model shows clearly how to separate the dynamics of the different atmospheric waves. However, its construction demonstrates that {em any} initialization procedure must eventually alter the forecast--the time-scale of the divergence between the initialized and the uninitialized solutions is inevitable and is inversely proportional to the square of initial level of gravity-wave activity.
We propose a novel algorithm for the approximation of surface-quasi geostrophic (SQG) flows modeled by a nonlinear partial differential equation coupling transport and fractional diffusion phenomena. The time discretization consists of an explicit st
rong-stability-preserving three-stage Runge-Kutta method while a flux-corrected-transport (FCT) method coupled with Dunford-Taylor representations of fractional operators is advocated for the space discretization. Standard continuous piecewise linear finite elements are employed and the algorithm does not have restrictions on the mesh structure nor on the computational domain. In the inviscid case, we show that the resulting scheme satisfies a discrete maximum principle property under a standard CFL condition and observe, in practice, its second-order accuracy in space. The algorithm successfully approximates several benchmarks with sharp transitions and fine structures typical of SQG flows. In addition, theoretical Kolmogorov energy decay rates are observed on a freely decaying atmospheric turbulence simulation.
This work involves theoretical and numerical analysis of the Thermal Quasi-Geostrophic (TQG) model of submesoscale geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD). Physically, the TQG model involves thermal geostrophic balance, in which the Rossby number, the Froud
e number and the stratification parameter are all of the same asymptotic order. The main analytical contribution of this paper is to construct local-in-time unique strong solutions for the TQG model. For this, we show that solutions of its regularized version $alpha$-TQG converge to solutions of TQG as its smoothing parameter $alpha rightarrow 0$ and we obtain blowup criteria for the $alpha$-TQG model. The main contribution of the computational analysis is to verify the rate of convergence of $alpha$-TQG solutions to TQG solutions as $alpha rightarrow 0$ for example simulations in appropriate GFD regimes.
Consider the surface quasi-geostrophic equation with random diffusion, white in time. We show global existence and uniqueness in high probability for the associated Cauchy problem satisfying a Gevrey type bound. This article is inspired by recent work of Glatt-Holtz and Vicol.
The stochastic variational approach for geophysical fluid dynamics was introduced by Holm (Proc Roy Soc A, 2015) as a framework for deriving stochastic parameterisations for unresolved scales. This paper applies the variational stochastic parameteris
ation in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for a beta-plane channel flow configuration. We present a new method for estimating the stochastic forcing (used in the parameterisation) to approximate unresolved components using data from the high resolution deterministic simulation, and describe a procedure for computing physically-consistent initial conditions for the stochastic model. We also quantify uncertainty of coarse grid simulations relative to the fine grid ones in homogeneous (teamed with small-scale vortices) and heterogeneous (featuring horizontally elongated large-scale jets) flows, and analyse how the spread of stochastic solutions depends on different parameters of the model. The parameterisation is tested by comparing it with the true eddy-resolving solution that has reached some statistical equilibrium and the deterministic solution modelled on a low-resolution grid. The results show that the proposed parameterisation significantly depends on the resolution of the stochastic model and gives good ensemble performance for both homogeneous and heterogeneous flows, and the parameterisation lays solid foundations for data assimilation.
