An experimental study of regime transitions in a differentially heated baroclinic annulus with flat and sloping bottom topographies
A series of laboratory experiments has been carried out in a thermally driven rotating annulus to study the onset of baroclinic instability, using horizontal and uniformly sloping bottom topographies. Different wave flow regimes have been identified and their phase boundaries – expressed in terms of...
