Modeling Jupiter's cloud bands and decks

摘要: We have investigated the formation of jet scale meridional circulation cells on Jupiter in response to radiative and zonal momentum forcing. In framework semi-geostrophic theory, streamfunction is described by an elliptic equation with a source term dependent sum latitudinal derivative forcing vertical Using this analytic terms similar assumed Jupiter, we obtained two set atmospheric circulations cells, stratospheric tropospheric one. A possible shift overturning high deep atmosphere can be induced breaking alignment heating enforced belt zones. series numerical simulations was conducted Jovian GCM OPUS, which initiated observational data from Cassini CIRS temperature cross-section corresponding geostrophic wind field. Newtonian potential as well applied respectively towards latitudinally vertically uniform equilibrium fields. accordance illustrations rows were created. The showed distribution upwelling over zones downwelling belts, consistent cloud observations. featured partial reversal downward velocity belts considerable reduction upward movement domain, recent detections water clouds lightning belts. also used modeled new fields for Poisson attribute origin secondary circulation. analysis, observed model are primarily generated forcing, while induces shifted configurations atmosphere.
