Take home message
1.Following Embid and Majda we use the method of multiple scales and fast wave averaging to find slow dynamics for Rossby to zero, finite Froude limit.
2.The leading order solution to the stably stratified, triply periodic fast-rotation Boussinesq equations has both fast and slow components. Leading order potential enstrophy is slow.
3.The slow dynamics evolves independently of the fast.
4.Equations for the slow dynamics including their conservation laws. Two-D NS and w/theta dynamics.
5.Preliminary numerical results support the slow conservation laws and the potential enstrophy only slow when Ro is small.
