    Dear Colleagues,

    Happy new year!
    It was nice to meet some of you at AGU2024, and now it's time to get ready for the EGU Assembly 2025 
    in Vienna, Austria from 27 April–2 May 2025.

    Abstracts are welcome for our EGU session on Stratified Turbulence in Geophysical and Astrophysical Flows (NP6.2). We invite contributions from a variety of turbulent topics listed in the session abstract below.

    We are delighted to announce that Colm-Cille Caulfield
    (University of Cambridge, UK) will be a solicited speaker in our session.

    Submit your abstract here: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/52517
    until 15 January 2025, 13 CET.

    Please share this with anyone interested and apologies for cross-posting.
    We look forward to your contributions and meeting you in Vienna!

    Your session conveners,

    Manita Chouksey   (Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, Germany)

    Session:  Stratified Turbulence in Geophysical and Astrophysical Flows (NP6.2) (OS4/PS4)
    Conveners: Manita Chouksey,
    Georg Sebastian Voelker, Mark Schlutow

    Geophysical and astrophysical flows in stratified media exhibit stratified turbulence that gives rise to a variety of flow phenomena spanning a range of spatial scales from the Kolmogorov to planetary scales. Stratified turbulence significantly influences the flow dynamics on various temporal scales via complex nonlinear interactions, which continue to be challenging to understand, diagnose, and quantify from both theory and numerics. This understanding is fundamental to advance our knowledge of turbulent flow dynamics, and a prerequisite for improved turbulent closures and parameterizations for robust predictions of weather and climate. This session aims at bringing together the recent advancements in the field of fluid dynamics, with a focus on geophysical and astrophysical flows, as well as magneto-hydro dynamics.

    Our session invites fundamental and applied contributions on stratified turbulence in fluids from theoretical, numerical, and experimental observational perspectives. The topics include, but are not limited to: two dimensional, three dimensional, isotropic, and anisotropic turbulence; energy transitions and cascades in turbulent flows; turbulent fluxes and transports; turbulent decay, mixing, and dissipation; stable boundary layer flows and intermittent turbulence; wave-vortex dynamics in various turbulent regimes; wave turbulence; clear air turbulence; turbulence in weakly and strongly stratified flows and stratified shear flows.

    We particularly encourage participation from early career researchers.
