15. The aspect ratio η corresponds to the ratio of the beam diameter to the theoretical roll wavelength calculated in a uniform configuration. It measures the transverse size of the system.

17. At this point it is difficult to define rigorously a "threshold." However in experiments, a threshold region as defined by the emergence of "almost stationary" rolls is easily located within 10%. In simulations, threshold is used by reference to the noiseless situation keeping in mind the continuous transition in presence of noise.
