On Energy Cascades in General Flows: A Lagrangian Application

Abstract An important characteristic of geophysically turbulent flows is the transfer of energy between scales. Balanced flows pass energy from smaller to larger scales as part of the well‐known upscale cascade, while submesoscale and smaller scale flows can transfer energy eventually to smaller, di...
