Two point third order correlation functions for quasigeostrophic turbulence: Kolmogorov–Landau approach

Abstract

We use the more intuitive approach due to Kolmogorov (and, subsequently, Landau in his text on fluid dynamics) to calculate some third order structure functions for quasigeostrophic turbulence for the forward cascade of pseudopotential enstrophy and the inverse energy cascade in quasigeostrophic turbulence.
