Abstract

In many convective flows of geophysical relevance the Earth's rotation is able to provide a control on the rate of heat transfer. The physical mechanisms of this process are the subject of this paper, where a linear model is used to break down the onset of convection into understandable elements that can be quantified and compared. The physical processes acting to control the onset of convection in rotating flows are found to differ depending on the parameters of the problem. Thus no simple universal mechanism can be identified.
