Superrotation and Jet Migration in Simulations of Jupiter's Convective Zone and Weather Layer
Loren Matilsky, Geoffrey Vallis, Matthew Browning +1
The mean zonal flow observed on Jupiter consists of an intricate pattern of jets, or bands of zonal flow moving prograde or retrograde compared to the bulk planetary rotation. The…
A Dynamo Confinement Scenario for the Solar Tachocline and its Implications for Spin-down in the Radiative Spreading Regime
Loren I. Matilsky, Lydia Korre, Nicholas H. Brummell
At the base of the Sun's convective zone, a narrow shear layer called the tachocline separates strong latitudinal differential rotation above from nearly rigid rotation in the radi…
Evaluating the -effect Model of the Solar Hemispherical Helicity Bias via Direct Numerical Simulations
Jacob B. Noone Wade, Nicholas H. Brummell
The Solar Hemispherical Helicity Rule(s) (SHHR) is a term used to represent a bias observed in proxies for the magnetic helicity in active regions at the solar surface. The SHHR st…
Dynamo Confinement of a Radiatively Spreading Solar Tachocline Revealed by Self-consistent Global Simulations
Loren I. Matilsky, Lydia Korre, Nicholas H. Brummell
The helioseismically observed solar tachocline is a thin internal boundary layer of shear that separates the rigidly-rotating solar radiative zone from the differentially-rotating…
