The onset of thermal convection in rotating spherical shells

The correct asymptotic theory for the linear onset of instability of a Boussinesq fluid rotating rapidly in a self-gravitating sphere containing a uniform distribution of heat sources was given recently by Jones et al. (2000). Their analysis confirmed the established picture that instability at smal...
