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…

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…

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…
