A review and the current status is given of laboratory experiments on the modeling, using rotating shallow water, of the largest and longest-lived vortical structures in planetary atmospheres, oceans, magnetized plasmas and spiral galaxies. Basic theoretical ideas, partly preceding the experiments mentioned and partly essentially inspired by the latter, are also presented.
