Near Resonant Approximation of the Rotating Stratified Boussinesq system on a 3-Torus [PDF]
Based on a novel treatment of near resonances, we introduce a new approximation for the rotating stratified Boussinesq system on three-dimensional tori with arbitrary aspect ratios. The rotation and stratification parameters are arbitrary and not equal.
