Abstract

An analysis is made of Gage's proposal that the horizontal energy spectrum at mesoscale wavelengths is produced by upscale energy transfer through quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. It is suggested that principal sources of such energy can be found in decaying convective clouds and thunderstorm anvil outflows. These are believed to evolve similarly to the wake of a moving body in a stably stratified flow. -from Author
