The weather layers of the gas giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, comprise the shallow
atmospheric layers that are influenced energetically by a combination of incoming solar …

In this paper, we study baroclinic waves from both the experimental and the theoretical
perspective. We obtain data from a rotating annulus experiment capable of producing a …

We demonstrate that turbulent zonal jets, analogous to Jovian ones, which are quasi
stationary, are actually metastable. After extremely long times, they randomly switch to new …

Observations of time-resolved thermal emission from tidally locked exoplanets can tell us
about their atmospheric temperature structure. Telescopes such as JWST and ARIEL will …

Hot Jupiters are tidally locked gaseous exoplanets with atmospheric circulations dominated
by a super-rotating equatorial jet. Their global circulation is often studied with simulations in …

Until recently, the lower to middle cloud region of Venus had been supposed to be
dynamically quiet, accommodating nearly steady superrotating westward flow. However …

We investigate the characteristics of equatorial waves associated with the maintenance of
superrotation in the stratosphere of a Titan general circulation model. A variety of equatorial …

On May 31, 2020 a convective storm appeared in one small cyclone in the South Temperate
Belt (STB) of Jupiter. The storm, nicknamed as Clyde's Spot, had an explosive start and …

We numerically and theoretically investigate the Boussinesq Eady model, where a rapidly
rotating density-stratified layer of fluid is subject to a meridional temperature gradient in …

Venusian thermal tides are discussed as a three-dimensional response to solar heating,
which is strongly modified by both barotropic and baroclinic energy conversions in a fully …
