Characteristics of Long-Lived Coherent Vortices in a Simple Model of Quasi-Geostrophic Turbulence

Macroscale turbulence in the atmosphere is observed to be self-organized into large-scale structures such as zonal jets and robust waves and vortices. A simple model containing the relevant dynamics of turbulence self-organization is quasi-geostrophic turbulence in a stably stratified atmosphere app...
