Wave turbulence

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010159",
  "term": "Wave turbulence",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A state of a fluid where wave interactions dominate the energy transfer processes, rather than direct eddy interactions as in classical turbulence. This involves a cascade of energy between waves of different scales through nonlinear wave-wave interactions. It is relevant in understanding energy transfer in the ocean and atmosphere, particularly for internal waves.",
