Title

Thermal Convection: A Colloquium, Sponsored by the NCAR Advanced Study Program, 5 July to 12 August, 1966

Abstract

This document is part one of three which report the results of a six-week colloquium on problems of thermal convection held during the summer of 1966. The colloquium covered a variety of topics, ranging from laboratory, field and satellite observation of natural convection to linear and nonlinear theories of convective instability and the theory of "shape-preserving" bubble and plume convective elements.
