The paper presents the experimental study of thermo- and solutocapillary Marangoni convection around a gas bubble in an inhomogeneous fluid with a vertical thermal or surfactant concentration gradient. The stationary bubble in the form of a short horizontal cylinder with a free lateral surface was placed into a vertically oriented thin liquid layer (Hele-Shaw cell). The evolution of thermal and concentration fields and fluid flows was studied applying the interferometric method. In contrast to a thermocapillary convection representing a stationary flow and stable temperature distribution, the periodic concentration disturbances around the bubble were observed in the solutocapillary case. The regularities of the discovered effect were revealed, and its interpretation was proposed.
