Physicists face major challenges in modelling multi-scale phenomena that are observed in geophysical flows (e.g. in the Earth's oceans and atmosphere, or liquid planetary cores). In particular, complexities arise because geophysical fluids…

Magneto-Coriolis (QG-MC) waves are considered an important part of the rapid dynamics of the Earth's outer core. The detailed characteristics of these waves are however still under scrutiny. In this study we explore the sensibility of the…
