Strong Resemblance between Surface and Deep Zonal Winds inside Jupiter Revealed by High-degree Gravity Moments
Jupiter’s atmosphere interior is a coupled fluid dynamical system strongly influenced by the rapid background rotation. While the visible atmosphere features east–west zonal winds on the order of ∼100 m s ^−1 , zonal flows in the dynamo region are significantly slower, on the order of ∼cm s ^−1 or l...
