Direct driving of simulated planetary jets by upscale energy transfer
Vincent G. A. Böning, Paula Wulff, Wieland Dietrich +2
The precise mechanism that forms jets and large-scale vortices on the giant planets is unknown. An inverse cascade has been suggested. Alternatively, energy may be directly injecte…
Linking Zonal Winds and Gravity II: explaining the equatorially antisymmetric gravity moments of Jupiter
Wieland Dietrich, Paula Wulff, Johannes Wicht +1
The recent gravity field measurements of Jupiter (Juno) and Saturn (Cassini) confirm the existence of deep zonal flows reaching to a depth of 5\% and 15\% of the respective radius.…
Linking Zonal Winds and Gravity: The Relative Importance of Dynamic Self Gravity
Johannes Wicht, Wieland Dietrich, Paula Wulff +1
Recent precise measurements at Jupiter's and Saturn's gravity fields constrain the properties of the zonal flows in the outer envelopes of these planets. A simplified dynamic equat…
