Abstract
The following investigation was carried out under the direction of H. Koschmieder. It is concerned with the experimental demonstration of convectional motion hitherto not investigated about which Zierep first reported on the basis of a special solution of the Rayleigh-Jefferys theory. The particular feature of this motion is its appearance when local instability acts together with instability extended over an area in a fluid layer covering the plane.
