Abstract

The in uence of the thermal conductivity of rigid boundaries is analysed for the case when the onset of convection occurs in the form of a time-dependent mode. A new form of long-wavelength convection is found which is disjunct from the high-wavenumber thermal Rossby wave in the presence of infinitely conducting boundaries usually considered.
