Jupiter’s Equatorial Quasi-quadrennial Oscillation Forced by Internal Thermal Forcing

Observations have shown that there exists downward propagation of alternating westward/eastward jets in Jupiter’s equatorial stratosphere, with a quasi-period between 4 and 6 yr. This phenomenon is generally called the quasi-quadrennial oscillation (QQO). Here, we simulate the QQO by injecting isotr...
