GCM studies\, which are more realistically modeled large scale balanced dynam ics\, poorly resolve the convective scales. On the other hand\, Mesoscale models\, which better resolve the convective scales\, don’t generally exte nd themselves to planetary scales to properly include the balance dynamics .\n\nLilly (1989) suggested that the atmospheric energy spectrum is at lea st partly produced by quasi-two dimensional turbulence\, generated by ener gy sources at both large and small scales. Nastrom & Gage (1985) observed the atmospheric energy spectra against horizontal wavenumber showing two p ower law ranges: a steep -3 slope for synoptic scale range and a shallow - 5/3 slope for mesoscale range. The study by Kafiabad & Bartello (2018) pro duced similar spectra\, but doesn’t include forcing at small scales. Simul ations can be designed by forcing at both the scales\, such that they inco rporate the effects of both the forward cascade of energy that is leaked f rom large scale balance dynamics and the convective injection of unbalance d energy at smaller scales.\n\nWednesday Nov 13/ 2.30 PM/ Room 934 Burnsid e Hall\n\n \n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20191113T193000Z DTEND:20191113T203000Z LOCATION:Room 934\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Atmospheric Turbulence generated by energy at two scales: Balance D ynamics and Convective Energy Injection URL:/meteo/channels/event/atmospheric-turbulence-gener ated-energy-two-scales-balance-dynamics-and-convective-energy-injection-30 2569 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
