Abstract Convection experiments in a rotating long cavity were conducted to investigate the changes introduced by Coriolis-force to the well understood convection in the (non-rotating) long cavity. In the far convective regime, the results indicated that large-scale features of the convection were dominated by geostrophically balanced confined primary currents. Close to the transition regime, where the intruding currents gain a thickness close to the vertical dimension of the tank, secondary features became predominant. In the transition regime, these secondary features were not present and the simple picture of two cavity filling counter currents with laterally tilted isotherms could be confirmed.
