A quasi-geostrophic convection model for planetary systems using a domain decomposition method

A numerical study is described of a quasi-geostrophic model for thermal convection in rapidly rotating planetary systems where the effect of Coriolis forces is dynamically predominant. In the quasi-geostrophic convection model, a spherical shell is divided into the three domains: a spherical annulus...
