| | 375 | Four experiments were conducted. For the first two experiments the tank was rotated with a rate of 0.041 rad/s (0.4 rpm) in the clockwise direction, which corresponds to a Rossby number of -2. |
| | 376 | |
| | 377 | rotstr1_1310a: The total experiment time was 36 mins. Inflow rate started with 10.61 L/s and then was decreased to 5.89 L/s until it reached a constant level. PIV measurements were conducted. Density excess and temperature were 20.5 kg/m^3^ and 23°C, respectively. ADV data were collected at the straight section (Position X1 - 75% down straight section, 56 cm upstream from the end of the straight section) from 15 to 25 min after the flow rate became constant. 7 sets of siphon samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 minutes after the start of the experiment, with duration of 1 minute. The cross stream UVP collected data from 5 to 15 minutes, and the down-stream UVP collected data from 25 to 35 minutes. |

| | 379 | rotapex2_1310b: The total experiment was 30 minutes. Temperature and density excess were 22.5°C and 20.5 kg/m^3^, respectively. Inflow rate started with 10.69 L/s and then was decreased to 5.81 L/s until it reached a constant level. ADV measurements were collected from 15 to 35 minutes after the start of the experiment at the second apex (Position X4). |

| | 381 | For the second two experiments the tank was rotated with a rate of 0.021 rad/s (0.2 rpm) in the clockwise direction, which corresponds to a Rossby number of -4. |
| | 382 | |
| | 383 | rotstr1_1310c: The total experiment time was 36 mins. Inflow rate started with 10.97 L/s and then was decreased to 5.78 L/s until it reached a constant level. PIV measurements were conducted. Density excess and temperature were 19.7 kg/m^3^ and 22.4°C, respectively. ADV data were collected at the straight section (Position X1 - 75% down straight section, 56 cm upstream from the end of the straight section) from 15 to 25 min after the flow rate became constant. 7 sets of siphon samples were collected at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 minutes after the start of the experiment, with duration of 1 minute. The cross stream UVP collected data from 5 to 15 minutes, and the down-stream UVP collected data from 25 to 35 minutes. |

| | 385 | rotapex2_1310d: The total experiment was 30 minutes. Temperature and density excess were 22.6°C and 19.6 kg/m^3^, respectively. Inflow rate started with 10.72 L/s and then was decreased to 5.78 L/s until it reached a constant level. ADV measurements were collected from 15 to 35 minutes after the start of the experiment at the second apex (Position X4). |
