摘要: An intriguing variety of vortex structures arise during buoyant convection, especially in the presence background stratification and rotation. These vortices play an important role environmental fluid motions, bearing upon small-scale turbulence to planetary-scale circulation. A brief review motions associated with convection is presented this paper, emphasizing sources vorticity, evolution their oceanic atmospheric dynamics. The genesis a vortices, for example, mushroom geostrophic ageostrophic dipolar hetons flows described, parameterizations represent properties are discussed. New laboratory numerical simulation results on vortex-related phenomena stratified rotating fluids implications geophysical convective also presented.
