Outline of Final Research Achievements

Global scale atmospheric energy spectrum is known to obey the -3 power law of the wavenumber. The energy spectrum has been explained by the inertial subrange theory of 2 dimensional geostrophic trubulence. However, our normal mode energetics analysis shows that the spectrum is created by Rossby wave breaking and saturation rather than the inertial subrange theory. According to this new theory, the energy spectrum obeys E=mc2 relation. Here, E is energy, c is phase speed of Rossby wave, and m is mass of the atmosphere in unit area. In this study we propose Rossby wave breaking and saturation theory, as a new theory to explain the global scale energy spectrum of the atmosphere.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

地球流体力学は、地球大気や海洋の運動を理解するための基礎となる理論である。この研究の成果を応用することで、天気予報や気候変動予測の研究を発展させることができる。この理論構築において、乱流の理解と再現は最も困難とされる学問分野である。地球規模の大気の流れは地衡風乱流を形成し、波数空間におけるエネルギースペクトルは、波数の-3乗に従う特徴的な乱流スペクトルを形成する。この説明として、これまでは慣性小領域理論が教科書において説明されてきた。本研究はこの慣性小領域理論を凌駕するものとして、ロスビー波の砕波と飽和理論を新たに提唱した。この研究成果は、乱流の理解を一層発展させた基礎研究として意義がある。
