How does energy input at planetary scales in the atmosphere and ocean ultimately reach scales small enough to be dissipated efficiently through turbulence? The Invited Paper “Recent progress in modeling imbalance in the atmosphere and ocean” describes advances in understanding the underlying instability and transport processes achieved through observations, theory, and numerical simulations, with a focus inspired in part by a February 2018 interdisciplinary workshop on the subject held at the Banff International Research Station.
