dishpan experiments
Model experiments carried out by differential heating of a fluid in a flat rotating pan. Such experiments, by establishing similarity with the atmosphere through such nondimensional parameters as the Rossby number, Taylor number, etc. , have reproduced many important features of the general circulation and of smaller scales of atmospheric motion. See Rossby regime.
