Ergodicity of stochastically forced large scale geophysical flows

Abstract: Abstract. We investigate the ergodicity of 2D large scale quasigeostrophic flows under random wind forcing. We show that the quasigeostrophic flows are ergodic under suitable conditions on the random forcing and on the fluid domain, and under no restrictions on viscosity, Ekman constant or Coriolis parameter. When these conditions are satisfied, then for any observable of the quasigeostrophic flows, its time average approximates the statistical ensemble average, as long as the time interval is sufficiently lon… Show more

“…One may argue that whether a data series representing a hydrological process is ergodic, it does not actually affect the practice of analysis of this hydrological process, therefore, the test of ergodicity can be completely neglected. Some researchers (Duan and Goldys, 2001;Koutsoyiannis, 2005;Liu, 1998), however, have pointed out that hydrological processes may have ergodic properties although no particular ergodicity analysis was performed in these works. This study presents a practical approach to analyze the mean ergodicity of hydrological processes, which bridges the concept of ergodicity and its application in hydrological process analysis.…”

“…However, the conditions presented above have been used in some studies to demonstrate ergodicity in physical systems. For instance, Duan and Goldys (2001) demonstrated the existence of a unique invariant measure in their study of geophysical flows.…”
