Abstract

Linear equations of turbulent convection in the presence of rotation are derived within the framework of a phenomenological approach. It is shown that the amplification of large-scale disturbances is possible only for the essentially inhomogeneous problem when the dimensions of the large-scale disturbance exceed the characteristic scale of density variation.
