Extract

Introduction. This paper is concerned with an interpretation of some experiments on certain axisymmetric inertial oscillations of a rotating fluid in a thick spherical shell. These oscillations are the counterparts to the ones reported by Aldridge and Toomre† (1969) for a full sphere of rotating fluid. A description of the arrangements for both experiments is presented in A & T; some of the measured eigen-frequencies for spherical shells of rotating fluid given by Aldridge (1967) are presented here for comparison with values calculated from a variational principle.
