I performed this experiment with my partner Phoebe Henderson, in which we placed two sets of four sensorsthermistors, one on the center ice canister (1), one on the outer rim of the tank (4), and two on the bottom of the tank, one placed 2–3cm from the side of the canister (2), and the other 10–11cm from the canister (3). The tank was spun at 0.95 rpm (one revolution ever 62 seconds) and allowed to reach a steady state before ice was added. Paper dots were then tracked to determine the shear in the Hadley cell. Finally, dye was dropped into the tank to observe the shear in detail.

The evolution of the temperature observed at each sensor over time may be plotted.
