We quantify the variability of the characteristic length scales of isotropically forced Boussinesq flows with stratification and frame rotation, as functions of the ratio $N/f$ of the Brunt–Väisälä frequency to the Coriolis frequency. The parameter ranges $01$ , the vortical-mode aspect ratio $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{0}$ asymptotes to a scaling of ${\sim}(N/f)^{-1}$ , in agreement with quasi-geostrophic estimates. In contrast, the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{0}$ in tall-aspect-ratio domain flows yields a decay rate of at most ${\sim}(N/f)^{-1/2}$ after large-scale filtering. Flows with nonlinear potential vorticity display consistently weaker dependence of the characteristic scales on $N/f$ than the corresponding ones with linear potential vorticity. The wave-mode aspect ratios for all flows are essentially independent of $N/f$ . We highlight the differences of these flow structure scalings relative to those expected for quasi-geostrophic flows, and those observed in strongly stratified, non-quasi-geostrophic flows.
