Constraining the depth of Saturn's zonal winds by measuring thermal and gravitational signals
Based on straightforward dynamical considerations, we show how available and upcoming measurements of Saturn's thermal and gravitational signals can be used to constrain the depth to which its zonal winds penetrate. The dynamical considerations issue from the facts that Saturn has a strong intr...
