Atmospheric spectrum
Nastrom, Gage, J. Atmosph. Sci. 1985

Atmospheric flows are driven by the gradients of solar heating.
Vertical gradients cause thermal convection on the scale of the troposphere depth (less than 10 km).
Horizontal gradients excite motions on a planetary (10000 km) and smaller scales.
Weather is mostly determined by the flows at intermediate scale (hundreds of kilometers).
Where these flows get their energy from?
The puzzle is that three-dimensional small-scale motions cannot transfer energy to larger scales while large-scale planar motions cannot transfer energy to smaller scales.

We expect from turbulencefragmentation, mixing and loss of coherence.
However,an inverse turbulent cascade proceeds from small to large scales and brings some self-organization and eventually appearance ofa coherent system-size condensate.

Moral
• A strong large-scale flow effectively suppresses fluctuations in the vertical velocity.
• The resulting flow is planar even at small scales yet it is three-dimensional as it depends strongly on the vertical coordinate.
• Turbulence in such flows transfers energy towards large scales.

Third order structure function of horizontal velocities for different flight-leg heights in hurricane A) Isabel and B) Fabian. These results represent the first measurement of the 2D upscale energy flux in the atmosphere and also the first to characterize the transition from 3D to 2D. It is shown that the large-scale parent vortex may gain energy directly from small-scales in tropical cyclones.

Summary
Inverse cascades seems to be scale invariant (and at least partially conformal invariant).
Condensation into a system-size coherent mode breaks symmetries of inverse cascades.
Condensates can enhance and suppress fluctuations in different systems. Spectral condensates of universal forms can coexist with turbulence.
Small-scale turbulence and large-scale vortex can conspire to provide for an inverse energy cascade.
