Until recently, observations of the giant planets of our Solar System were confined to
sampling relatively shallow regions of their atmospheres, leaving many uncertainties as to …

Theories of how Earth's surface climate may change in the future, of how it may have been in
the past, and of how it is related to climates of other planets must build upon a theory of the …

Multiple Jets as PV Staircases: The Phillips Effect and the Resilience of Eddy-Transport
Barriers in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 65 Issue 3 (2008) Jump to Content …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …

Jupiter's turbulent weather layer contains phenomena of many different sizes, from local
storms up to the Great Red Spot and banded jets. The global circulation is driven by …

The global distribution of phosphine (PH3) on Jupiter and Saturn is derived using 2.5 cm− 1
spectral resolution Cassini/CIRS observations. We extend the preliminary PH3 analyses on …

We present five epochs of WFC3 HST Jupiter observations taken between 2009–2016 and
extract global zonal wind profiles for each epoch. Jupiter's zonal wind field is globally stable …

The atmosphere of Jupiter has east–west zonal jets that alternate as a function of latitude as
tracked by cloud motions at tropospheric levels. Above and below the cold tropopause at …

Brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant planets exhibit significant evidence for active
atmospheric circulation, which induces a large-scale patchiness in the cloud structure that …
