From gas to ice giants: A unified mechanism for equatorial jets
Keren Duer-Milner, Nimrod Gavriel, Eli Galanti +2
The equatorial jets dominating the dynamics of the Jovian planets exhibit two distinct types of zonal flows: strongly eastward in the gas giants (superrotation) and strongly westwa…
Dynamical constraints on the vertical structure of Jupiter's polar cyclones
Nimrod Gavriel, Yohai Kaspi
Jupiter's poles feature striking polygons of cyclones that drift westward over time, a motion governed by beta-drift (vortex motion caused by the latitudinal variation of the Corio…
The westward drift of Jupiter's polar cyclones explained by a center-of-mass approach
Nimrod Gavriel, Yohai Kaspi
The first orbits around Jupiter of the Juno spacecraft in 2016 revealed a symmetric structure of multiple cyclones that remained stable over the next five years. Trajectories of in…
The Oscillatory Motion of Jupiter's Polar Cyclones Results From Vorticity Dynamics
Nimrod Gavriel, Yohai Kaspi
The polar cyclone at Jupiter's south pole and the five cyclones surrounding it oscillate in position and interact. These cyclones, observed since 2016 by NASA's Juno mission, prese…
The number and location of Jupiter's circumpolar cyclones explained by vorticity dynamics
Nimrod Gavriel, Yohai Kaspi
The Juno mission observed that both poles of Jupiter have polar cyclones that are surrounded by a ring of circumpolar cyclones. The North Pole holds eight circumpolar cyclones and…
Evidence for multiple Ferrel-like cells on Jupiter
Keren Duer, Nimrod Gavriel, Eli Galanti +14
Jupiter's atmosphere is dominated by multiple jet streams which are strongly tied to its 3D atmospheric circulation. Lacking a rigid bottom boundary, several models exist for how t…
