Abstract
Two-dimensional barotropic model on a rotating sphere is one of the simplest mathematical models describing the dynamics of planetary atmospheres. The two-dimensional turbulence shows the spontaneous formation of large-scale zonal flows similar to those seen on giant gas planets such as Jupiter. However, this mechanism has not been fully clarified yet. The aim of this study is to understand the formation mechanism of zonal flows by investigating in detail the non-linear interactions of Rossby wave solutions, which is characteristic of this system.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
Since the research group with which we might collaborate had an account on the JAXA supercomputing system, we considered it desirable to use this system for sharing data in case of collaboration. Also, as the research was a continuation of the previous year’s research and most of the data required was located on the JAXA supercomputing system, we wished to continue using the system.
Achievements of the Year
The effect of three-wave nonlinear interactions of Rossby waves on large-scale zonal flow formation in two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere was investigated. We considered near-resonant, far-resonant, local, and non-local three-wave nonlinear interactions of Rossby waves, and calculated energy transfer to large-scale zonal flow components by each type of interaction, to clarify the nonlinear interactions involved in the formation of large-scale zonal flows. It was found that energy is directly transfered to large-scale zonal flows by near-resonant interactions and non-local interactions. Since the near-resonance and non-localness are completely different concepts, we further investigated the relation between near-resonant and non-local interactions. Then it was suggested that the sets of near-reosnant interactions and non-local interactions almost completely coincide in the considered system, so that the dyrect factor of the formation of large-scale zonal flow is the non-local energy transfer by near-resonant interactions fo Rossby waves.
