We consider triadic nonlinear interaction in the Navier-Stokes equation for quasi-geostrophic convection in a spherical shell. This approach helps us understand the origin of kinetic energy transport in the system and the particular scheme of mode interaction, as well as the locality of energy transfer. The peculiarity of convection in the sphere, concerned with the excitation of Rossby waves, is considered. The obtained results are compared with the results of our previous study on Cartesian geometry.
