A companion paper describes high-resolution, ground-based imaging of apparent Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) observed in noctilucent clouds (NLCs) near the polar summer mesopause. Here we employ direct numerical simulations of KHI at Richardson

A companion paper describes high-resolution, ground-based imaging of apparent Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) observed in OH airglow at ~87 km over the Andes Lidar Observatory at 30°S. Here we employ direct numerical simulations (DNSs) and larg

Four idealized direct numerical simulations are performed to examine the dynamics arising from the superposition of a monochromatic gravity wave (GW) and sinusoidal linear and rotary fine structure in the velocity field. These simulations are motivat
Direct numerical simulation data of an evolving Kelvin-Helmholtz instability have been analyzed in order to characterize the dynamic and kinematic response of shear-generated turbulent flow to imposed stable stratification. Particular emphasis was pu

Recently we have begun to appreciate more fully the degree and the consequences of variability in gravity wave (GW) forcing of the middle atmosphere. Such variability arises for a number of reasons. GW sources in the lower atmosphere reflect the sign

Convection, generated by destabilising buoyancy forcing, is a significant source of vertical mixing in the ocean and atmosphere. Ensembles of convective elements or plumes transport buoyancy and tracers across the convective layer. Here we examine nu

We simulate very high frequency (VHF) radar backscatter from turbulent irregularities in the mesosphere and examine the process of calculating key turbulence parameters from radar Doppler spectral moments. Mesospheric turbulence is represented by a t

Atmospheric and oceanic convection often occurs over areas occupied by many localized circulation elements known as plumes. The convective transports therefore may depend not only on the individual elements, but also on the interactions between plume

The highest-resolution 3D direct numerical simulations to date of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are reported. The ensuing turbulence spans a broad range of spatial scales and exhibits Kolmogorov spectra in horizontal planes. Non-Gaussian statistics ar

The incompressible Navier–Stokes equation is considered in the limit of rapid rotation (small Ekman number). The analysis is limited to horizontal scales small enough so that both horizontal and vertical velocities are comparable, but the horizonta
