Just as in stellar and planetary accretion disks, the flow has rotation, anticyclonic shear, and a stabilizing density gradient parallel to the rotation axis. The primary instability of the laminar state leads not to axisymmetric Taylor vortex flow but to the non-axisymmetric {\\it stratorotational instability} (SRI), so named by Shalybkov and R\\\"udiger (2005).
