Nonlinear calculations for the three-dimensional and time dependent convective flow in a plane parallel layer of fluid are carried out with parameter values appropriate for supergranules on the Sun. A rotation vector is used which is tilted from the vertical to represent various latitudes. For the i
In the standard model of the solar convective zone, turbulent eddies transport entropy rather than temperature. We consider the turbulent mean field equations for the convective zone, including entropy transport, and show that the zone can be unstable to larger scale motion which we identify with th
