Quasi-geostrophic flows responsible for the secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field (2008, background): “This geometrical boundary effect is known as topographic β-effect (e.g., Busse (2002)) and the resulting flow is quasi-geostrophic (QG).”
Jovian atmospheric dynamics: an update after Galileo and Cassini (2005, background): “Fortunately, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory devised a scheme to transmit data through Galileo’s low-gain antenna to an upgraded set of antennae on Earth up to a rate of 160 bits s−1 (one hundred thousand times slower than a broadband internet connection). Although handicapped, the mis”
The onset of thermal convection in rotating spherical shells (2004, methodology): “It has long been known, and stressed in Busse’s pioneering papers (Busse 1970, 1975) and reviews (Busse 1994, 2002), that motion at small Ekman number is quasi-geostrophic almost independent of the coordinate z parallel to the rotation axis.”
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics beyond the traditional approximation (2008, background): “In other words, the medium carries so-called ‘‘thermal Rossby waves’’ [Busse, 1994, 2002] with the topographic beta effect of the spherical surface as the restoring mechanism.”
Structure and Evolution of Giant Cells in Global Models of Solar Convection (2007, background): “NS downflow lanes are related to banana cells and columnar convective modes that occur in more laminar, more rapidly rotating, and more weakly stratified systems and that have been well studied both analytically and numerically (reviewed by Zhang & Schubert 2000; Busse 2002).”
Solar Dynamo Theory (2014, background): “This leads to characteristic convective patterns, with equatorial regions organized in a longitudinal stack of latitudinally elongated banana cells, extending across equatorial latitudes up to ± 35◦ in the Sun, at least according to global hydrodynamical simulations (see Figure 2; also Busse 2002).”
