Abstract
Some basic concepts and earlier work on external noise and the convectively unstable Ginzburg-Landau equation are reviewed, and some of the ideas presented in the earlier work are investigated further and extended. In particular, further consideration is given to convective chaos-chaos which only occurs in a moving frame of reference; and slugs-localized structures which are surrounded by a stable stationary state. Some new results on secondary convective instabilities and on periodic systems with a spatially varying instability are discussed. Work on the coupled Ginzburg-Landau equation is reviewed. Actual physical systems are discussed.
