During the past two decades, numerous laboratory experiments have been performed to
understand the influence of rotation and stratification on turbulence induced by thermal …

Turbulent convection induced by heating the bottom boundary of a horizontally
homogeneous, linearly (temperature) stratified, rotating fluid layer is studied using a series …

A simple mechanistic model to explain the thermal offset observed in highly turbulent
rotating convection experiments is presented. The experiments indicate that for sufficiently …

Global differences of temperature and buoyancy flux at the ocean surface are responsible
for small-scale convection at high latitudes, global overturning, and the top-to-bottom density …

Laboratory observations of thermal convection in a rotating system are described. In our
rotating table experiments, an initially steady, unstratified fluid is subjected to a buoyancy …

A series of experiments were performed in a rotating cylindrical tank over a wide range of
rotation rates in which convective turbulence was generated by a bottom-mounted heated …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of rotation on turbulent mixing
in a stratified fluid when the turbulence in the mixed layer is generated by an oscillating grid …

The effects of Earth's rotation on convection into stratified fluid under uniform surface cooling
are investigated using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model. The initial mixed layer depth …

Combined effects of stratification and rotation on vertical mixing and the characteristics of
associated small‐scale turbulence are explored using second‐moment closure …

Turbulent convection forced by a surface heat flux into a stably stratified region is a feature of
both the atmospheric and oceanic planetary boundary layers. Of particular interest is the …
