Experiments on a barotropic rotating shear layer. Part 1. Instability and steady vortices
The barotropic shear layer in a rotating fluid is studied in a laboratory experiment. Through the rotation of circular sections in the base and lid of a circular tank relative to a background rotation of the entire system, a vertical layer of strong horizontal shear develops, the Stewartson layer.
