Multiple zonal jets and convective heat transport barriers in a quasi-geostrophic model of planetary cores (NERC Grant NE/M017893/1)
Data extracted from simulations of rapidly-rotating Boussinesq convection driven by internal heating in a full sphere and published in Guervilly & Cardin, 2017, Geophys. J. Int. 211, 455-471 (DOI:10.1093/gji/ggx315). The simulations were run for Ekman numbers of 1e-7 and 1e-8 and Prandtl numbers of 0.1 and 0.01. The data consist of tables of input and output parameters (Reynolds number of the convective and zonal flows, convective lengthscale and Rhines scale).

We use a numerical model based on the quasi-geostrophic approximation for the velocity field, whereas the temperature field is 3-D.
