Experimental observations of azimuthally traveling waves in rotating Rayleigh-B?nard convection in a circular container are presented and described in terms of the theory of bifurcation with symmetry. The amplitude of the convective states varies as ?? and the traveling-wave frequency depends linearly on ? with a finite value at onset. Here ? = R/Rc - 1, where Rc is the critical Rayleigh number. The onset value of the frequency decreases to zero as the dimensionless rotation rate ? decreases to zero. These experimental observations are consistent with the presence of a Hopf bifurcation from the conduction state expected to arise when rotation breaks the reflection symmetry in vertical planes of the nonrotating apparatus.
