Numerical experiments are presented which explore the dependence of the scale and
intensity of convective elements in a rotating fluid on variations in external parameters in a …

We review what is known about the convective process in the open ocean, in which the
properties of large volumes of water are changed by intermittent, deep‐reaching convection …

The intensity and scale of the geostrophically adjusted end state of the convective
overturning of a homogeneous rotating ocean of depth H at a latitude where the Coriolis …

Many flows in nature and technology are driven by buoyant convection and subsequently
modulated by rotation. Typical and highly relevant examples are found in the large-scale …

Isolated convection in a rotating fluid of constant depth H which is initially homogeneous in
density is considered. It is shown that three regimes can be expected, depending on the …

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 …

We study the convective overturning of a rotating stratified fluid in the laboratory. Convection
is induced from the surface of a salt‐stratified fluid by the introduction of salty fluid over a …

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 …

We investigate the effect of rotation on the structure of turbulence in neutral and convective
mixed layers and assess the applicability of the Reynolds stress turbulence closure models …
