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…
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
Mechanisms of jet formation on the giant planets
Junjun Liu, Tapio Schneider
The giant planet atmospheres exhibit alternating prograde (eastward) and retrograde (westward) jets of different speeds and widths, with an equatorial jet that is prograde on Jupit…
Formation of Jets and Equatorial Superrotation on Jupiter
Tapio Schneider, Junjun Liu
The zonal flow in Jupiter's upper troposphere is organized into alternating retrograde and prograde jets, with a prograde (superrotating) jet at the equator. Existing models posit…
Constraints on Deep-seated Zonal Winds Inside Jupiter and Saturn
Junjun Liu, Peter Goldreich, David Stevenson
The atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn exhibit strong and stable zonal winds. How deep the winds penetrate unabated into each planet is unknown. Our investigation favors shallow win…
