Abstract
Possibilities of laboratory simulation of two different atmospheric layers — stratospheric and boundary layer — are considered. The laboratory simulation is performed by fully developed turbulent flows of mercury (Re∼7×104) in strong magnetic fields. The processes of direct and inverse transfer of energy and passive scalar are investigated.
