Temporal Variability of Titan's Middle-Atmospheric Zonal Winds from Southern Fall to Late Winter (2016-2023)
Martin A. Cordiner, Yuan Lian, Juan M. Lora +10
Previous ALMA observations have revealed unexpectedly strong and rapid variations in Titan's high-altitude equatorial zonal winds, which present a challenge to our understanding of…
Juno Microwave Radiometer Observations Reveal A Warmer Polar Atmosphere on Jupiter
Jiheng Hu, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +15
The intriguing circumpolar cyclone pattern at Jupiter's poles raises fundamental questions about how these systems are organized vertically and, further, how the planet's internal…
Reconciling Jupiter's Vertical Motions with the Observed Cloud Structure in the Upper Troposphere
João M. Mendonça, Tapio Schneider, Junjun Liu +1
The eddy fluxes of angular momentum in Jupiter's upper troposphere are known to converge in prograde jets and diverge in retrograde jets. Away from the equator, this implies conver…
The Role of Planetary-Scale Waves on the Stratospheric Superrotation in Titan's Atmosphere
Yuan Lian, Cecilia Leung, Claire Newman +1
We analyze simulation results from the TitanWRF global circulation model to understand the mechanisms that maintain the equatorial superrotation in Titan's stratosphere. We find th…
