Abstract
We investigate numerically in spherical geometry the interaction of stratification with precession. Both stable stratification and unstable stratification are studied. In the parameter regime we are concerned with, stable stratification suppresses the precessional instability, whereas unstable stratification and precession can either stablise or destablise each other at the different precession rates.
