Abstract
I analyze Graham's theory of the threshold region of the convection instability in a fluid layer heated from below. I consider the situation where vertical boundary walls insure that a single spatial mode dominates in the threshold region. Equilibrium properties and the temporal correlation times for both the amplitude and intensity of that mode are presented.Keywords
