How well do we understand the belt/zone circulation of giant planet atmospheres?
The atmospheres of the four giant planets of our Solar System share a common and well-
observed characteristic: they each display patterns of planetary banding, with regions of …

Atmospheric chemistry on Uranus and Neptune
Comparatively little is known about atmospheric chemistry on Uranus and Neptune,
because remote spectral observations of these cold, distant 'Ice Giants' are challenging, and …

Joint evolution of equatorial oscillation and interhemispheric circulation in Saturn's stratosphere
Planetary stratospheres are characterized by a subtle interplay between dynamics, radiation
and chemistry. Observations of Saturn's stratosphere have revealed a semi-annual …

Seasonal stratospheric photochemistry on Uranus and Neptune
A time-variable 1D photochemical model is used to study the distribution of stratospheric
hydrocarbons as a function of altitude, latitude, and season on Uranus and Neptune. The …

Cassini exploration of the planet Saturn: A comprehensive review
AP Ingersoll - Space science reviews, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Before Cassini, scientists viewed Saturn's unique features only from Earth and from
three spacecraft flying by. During more than a decade orbiting the gas giant, Cassini studied …

Disruption of Saturn's quasi-periodic equatorial oscillation by the great northern storm
The equatorial middle atmospheres of the Earth, Jupiter and Saturn, all exhibit a remarkably
similar phenomenon—a vertical, cyclic pattern of alternating temperatures and zonal (east …
