Hola Sergio,

El Dr Scott va a dar un coloquio el viernes. Me dijo que su charla
puede ser de interés para físicos. Te paso los datos de su charla. Por
favor si conocés a alguien más que le pueda interesar, mandale la
info.

Gracias,

Pedro

The structure of zonal jets in the atmosphere and oceans
  - Richard Scott, University of St Andrews

Viernes 16/11 14Hs
Aula 8 DCAO Piso 2 Pab II

I will discuss some fundamental dynamical properties of atmospheric
and oceanic jets, addressing, in particular, three basic questions:
(i) what determines the separation between jets of a given speed?
(ii) what forcing conditions lead to the formation of strong jets?
(iii) under what conditions can jet formation occur independently of a
turbulent inverse cascade?  Some applications to the winter
stratosphere will also be considered.
