Macroturbulent Equilibration in a Thermally Forced Primitive Equation System
A major question for climate studies is to quantify the role of turbulent eddy fluxes in maintaining the observed ocean–atmosphere state. It has been argued that eddy fluxes keep the midlatitude atmosphere in a state that is marginally critical to baroclinic instability, which provides a powerful co...
