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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

We report heat transfer and temperature profile measurements in laboratory experiments of
rapidly rotating convection in water under intense thermal forcing (Rayleigh number Ra as …

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

Atmospheric and oceanic convection often occurs over areas occupied by many localized
circulation elements known as plumes. The convective transports therefore may depend not …

'Horizontal convection'(HC) is the generic name for the flow resulting from a buoyancy
variation imposed along a horizontal boundary of a fluid. We study the effects of rotation on …

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a simple model system used to study the interplay
of buoyant forcing and rotation. Many recent studies have focused on the geostrophic …
