Findings
Columnar vortices form spontaneously under stochastic forcing.
Rotation and stratification influence vortex formation.
Visual demonstration enhances understanding of geophysical flows.
Abstract
A fluid dynamics video of the rotating, weakly stratified Boussinesq equations is presented that illustrates the spontaneous formation of columnar vortices in the presence of stochastic, white noise forcing.
