Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a rotating cell is a particularly attractive system for the study of chaotic behavior in spatially extended systems. This is because theoretically tractable regions of parameter space, where the system exhibits spatio-temporal chaos, are also reachable by present experiments. Nevertheless even some of the most basic theoretical predictions, notably the dependence of the time and length scales on the Rayleigh number, disagree with experimental measurements. Thus researchers face an interesting and potentially enlightening puzzle. I will give an overview of previous results and analysis techniques and present some new experimental measurements, analyses, and discoveries.
