The atmosphere and the ocean reveal not only vigorous time-mean circulations on planetary and basin-wide scales but also smaller-scale variations related to storms, convective events, meso-scale and sub-mesoscale eddies and internal waves. One of the main characteristics of these geophysical fluids is hence the coexistence of motions on a vast range of scales and the resulting lack of any spatial or temporal spectral gaps. How do motions on various scales interact with each other? More importantly, how do small-scale motions, which are numerous, ubiquitous, and often energetic, affect the behavior of large-scale circulations and the responses of large-scale circulations to changes in external forcing factors? My recent research investigates these questions following various routes listed below:
