White-noise vertical shear gives an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck inclination

ID: white-noise-vertical-shear-gives-an-ornstein-uhlenbeck-inclination

In the long-time growing horizontal-gradient branch, independent vertical shear noises combine as . The signed inclination satisfies the displayed Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic differential equation. For its stationary density is , with variance . The Fokker-Planck probability current vanishes at infinity and gives this Gaussian by one integration. At and nonzero noise there is no normalizable stationary density.
