Rotationally Constrained Convection in the Sun: Applicable to Planetary Atmospheres?
Abstract
Rotational suppression of convection can occur on length scales which are larger than a critical length. Featherstone & Hindman suggest that this can account for a second preferred length-scale in solar convection on supergranule scales. Here, I explore if rotational suppression of convection also occurs in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus.
