The outer planets of our Solar System display a myriad of interesting cloud features, of
different colors and sizes. The differences between the types of observed clouds suggest a …

The notion of the cascade arrest in a β-plane turbulence in the context of continuously forced
flows is revised in this paper using both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. It is …

This chapter reviews the state of our knowledge about Saturn's polar atmosphere that has
been revealed through Earth-and space-based observation as well as theoretical and …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

The rotation period of a gas giant's magnetic field (called the System III reference frame) is
commonly used to infer its bulk rotation. Saturn's dipole magnetic field is not tilted relative to …

Five years of Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem images, from 2004 to 2009, are analyzed
in this work to retrieve global zonal wind profiles of Saturn's northern and southern …

We present gray gas general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the tidally locked mini-
Neptune GJ 1214b. On timescales of 1000–10,000 Earth days, our results are comparable …

The investigation of planets around other stars began with the study of gas giants, but is now
extending to the discovery and characterization of super-Earths and terrestrial planets …

Intense east–west winds called zonal jets are observed in the atmospheres of Jupiter and
Saturn and extend in their deep interior. We present experimental results from a fully three …

Flow between concentric spheres of radius ratio η= ri/ro= 0.35 is studied in a 3 m diameter
experiment. We have measured the torques required to maintain constant boundary speeds …
