The theoretical study of the self-organization of two-dimensional and geophysical turbulent
flows is addressed based on statistical mechanics methods. This review is a self-contained …

Superrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in
the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region …

Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides an introductory-level exploration of
geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows on large …

Abstract The Galileo and Cassini spacecrafts have greatly enhanced the observational
record of Jupiter's tropospheric dynamics, particularly through returning high spatial …

First Published in 1992. This book arose as a result of the authors work on the review
'Solitary Vortices in Plasmas' written for the Soviet Journal of Plasma Physics. With the …

Despite major differences in the solar and internal energy inputs, the atmospheres of the
four Jovian planets all exhibit latitudinal banding and high-speed jet streams. Neptune and …

Most current models of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) are cast in terms of a two-layer
model, where a thin upper weather layer, which contains the vortex, overlies a much deeper …

Isolated large stable vortices have long been observed in the jovian atmosphere and more
recently on Saturn. The existence of such stable vortices in strongly turbulent planetary …

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous
planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are …

This book can be looked upon in more ways than one. On the one hand, it describes
strikingly interesting and lucid hydrodynamic experiments done in the style of the" good old …
