Intermittency is a characteristic feature of turbulent flows. Typically observed as the localized enhancement of small-scale field fluctuations, it is at the origin of the bursty behavior of the energy dissipation in fluids. Though, the intermittent character of the velocity and the temperature fields has been reported in many observations in geophysical flows also in the large scales.The purpose of this thesis is precisely to characterize the emergence of large-scale intermittent vertical velocity drafts and temperature bursts in stratified turbulent flows of geophysical interests, as detected in the atmosphere and the oceans. In particular, using direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of the Boussinesq equations (with or without rotation), ...
