Thermal convection in liquid gallium layer is investigated as a fundamental study for Rayleigh-Benard convection in low Prandtl number fluid using ultrasonic velocity profiler, UVP. Measured velocity profiles visualize a convective motion in the liquid gallium layer, and it is a roll shape motion. Spatio-temporal velocity profile shows that there are two types of spatial fluctuation of the convection roll. Two axes-simultaneous velocity profile measurement clarifies that expand and contraction of convection roll has a phase delay on the direction of the rotating axis of the roll. Frequency analysis of the obtained instantaneous velocity distribution shows that the convective motion has unique frequency component of the velocity fluctuation at the boundaries between the rolls. The frequency component cannot be detected at smaller Rayleigh number, under R=1×10^4. The frequency is proportional to the Rayeigh number to the power 0.376.
