Scientific paper

The convective stability of a fluid flow generated in a rotating spherical layer, due to a nonuniform temperature distribution at one of the boundaries of the layer is analyzed. The problem studied may simulate large-scale motions in atmospheres of large planets which contain internal heat sources and which absorb solar radiation at the cloud cover. It is shown that depending on the relationship between the parameters responsible for the rotation and for the nonuniform temperature distribution, the layer will become stable or unstable as compared to a fixed layer of equal thickness and with the same but uniform distribution of the applied heat flow.
