Notes. Part of the high resolution runs may not be fully resolved nor relaxed. We checked this has no influence on the latitudinal profile of the Nusselt number, but it may be of importance for it absolute value; hence we recommend not using it, for instance when studying Nusselt scalings.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
