An experimental study of multiple zonal jet formation in rotating, thermally driven convective flows on a topographic beta-plane

A series of rotating, thermal convection experiments were carried out on the Coriolis platform in Grenoble, France, to investigate the formation and energetics of systems of zonal jets through nonlinear eddy/wave-zonal flow interactions on a topographic ß-plane. The latterwas produced by a combinati...
