Snapshots on the meridional (﹩\phi =0﹩) plane in the quasi-steady state. Each panel corresponds to (a) temperature, (b) radial velocity, (c) antisunward Elsässer variable, and (d) sunward Elsässer variable, respectively. The animation of this figure runs from simulation time, τ = 0 to 50 minutes, where τ = 0 is when the system reaches a quasi-steady state.
