Quasiperiodicity, a partially synchronous state that precedes the onset of forced synchronization in hydrodynamic systems, exhibits distinct geometrical patterns based on the specific route to lock-in. In this study, we explore these…

Zonal jets and non-zonal large-scale flows are often present in forced-dissipative barotropic turbulence on a beta-plane. The dynamics underlying the formation of both zonal and non-zonal coherent structures is investigated in this work…
