    Abstract

    We report the simultaneous observation of the inverse energy and direct enstrophy cascade in thin-layer turbulence. The experiments are conducted in an electromagnetically driven flow with layers of stratified fluid. Recent questions regarding the two-dimensionality of electromagnetically driven turbulence in such experiments are addressed.
