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 …

This review presents an insight into our current knowledge of the atmospheres of the planets
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the satellite Titan, and those of …

Numerous land-and space-based observations have established that Saturn has a
persistent hexagonal flow pattern near its north pole. While observations abound, the …

Saturn's polar stratosphere exhibits the seasonal growth and dissipation of broad, warm
vortices poleward of~ 75° latitude, which are strongest in the summer and absent in winter …

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 …

Among the great diversity of atmospheric circulation patterns observed throughout the solar
system, polar vortices stand out as a nearly ubiquitous planetary‐scale phenomenon. In …

ABSTRACT The Cassini and Juno probes have revealed large coherent cyclonic vortices in
the polar regions of Saturn and Jupiter, a dramatic contrast from the east–west banded jet …

We investigate exact nonlinear waves on surfaces locally approximating the rotating sphere
for two-dimensional inviscid incompressible flow. Our first system corresponds to a …

We present a study of the cloud morphology and motions in the north polar region of Saturn,
from latitude∼ 70° N to the pole based on Cassini ISS images obtained between January …

We derive the nonlinear governing equations for stratified circumpolar atmospheric jet flow
in Saturn's upper troposphere. An exact solution is obtained in the material (Lagrangian) …
