Two scenarios on the driving mechanism of the Jovian equatorial jet with secondary hydrodynamic instabilities
We test the feasibility of two scenarios that may drive the broad, prograde, equatorial jets in the Jovian atmosphere within the shallow "weather layer". The first idea attempts to explain the flat-headed jet as a consequence of a hydrodynamic instability along an equatorially trapped prim...
