{{Non-free use rationale 2

|Description = Visualization of an unstable Rayleigh–Taylor instability configuration where baroclinic torque at the interface creates vorticity and induces a velocity field that increases the baroclinic torque. Here omega is vorticity, p is pressure, rho is density, u is velocity and g is gravity. The thick circular arrows represent the velocity field created by the vortex.
