Fluid dynamics of polar vortices on Earth, Mars, and Titan
DW Waugh - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Polar vortices that share many similarities are found in Earth's stratosphere and the
atmospheres of Mars and Saturn's moon Titan. These vortices all occur in the winter, and are …

The number and location of Jupiter's circumpolar cyclones explained by vorticity dynamics
The Juno mission observed that both poles of Jupiter have polar cyclones that are
surrounded by a ring of circumpolar cyclones (CPCs). The north pole holds eight CPCs and …

Vorticity and divergence at scales down to 200 km within and around the polar cyclones of Jupiter
Since 2017 the Juno spacecraft has observed a cyclone at the north pole of Jupiter
surrounded by eight smaller cyclones arranged in a polygonal pattern. It is not clear why this …

Deep, closely packed, long-lived cyclones on Jupiter's poles
Abstract The Juno mission to Jupiter has found closely packed cyclones at the planet's two
poles. The observation that these cyclones coexist in very confined space, with outer rims …

The Westward Drift of Jupiter's Polar Cyclones Explained by a Center‐of‐Mass Approach
The first orbits around Jupiter of the Juno spacecraft in 2016 revealed a symmetric structure
of multiple cyclones that remained stable over the next 5 years. Trajectories of individual …
