Scientific paper

The flight of the Spacelab 3 microgravity laboratory onboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in May 1985 enabled electroconvection experiments to be conducted using the goephysical fluid flow cell instrument. Experimental results are presented which illustrate the variety of convection achieved by varying the imposed radial and latitudinal temperature gradients, rotation rates, and the strength of the electrostatic gravity. These results are compared with those obtained from nonlinear three-dimensional simulations and good agreement is found.
