A chorus of the winds-on Saturn! by Read, P

Investigating the semiannual oscillation on Mars using data assimilation by Ruan, T, Lewis, N, Lewis, S, Montabone, L, Read, P

“…Unlike on Earth, the Martian SAO is found not always to reverse its zonal wind direction, but only manifests itself as a deceleration of the dominant wind at certain pressure levels and latitudes. …”

Superrotation on Venus, on Titan, and elsewhere by Read, P, Lebonnois, S

“…Atmospheric superrotation also occurs elsewhere in the Solar System and beyond, and we compare Venus and Titan with Earth and other planets for which wind estimates are available. …”

An intense stratospheric jet on Jupiter. by Flasar, F, Kunde, V, Achterberg, R, Conrath, B, Simon-Miller, A, Nixon, C, Gierasch, P, Romani, P, Bézard, B, Irwin, P, Bjoraker, G, Brasunas, J, Jennings, D, Pearl, J, Smith, MD, Orton, G, Spilker, L, Carlson, R, Calcutt, S, Read, P, Taylor, F, Parrish, P, Barucci, A, Courtin, R, Coustenis, A

“…The Earth's equatorial stratosphere shows oscillations in which the east-west winds reverse direction and the temperatures change cyclically with a period of about two years. …”

A mechanistic model of the quasi-quadrennial oscillation in Jupiter's stratosphere by Li, X, Read, P

“…An analytical model, previously developed for investigating the propagation of equatorially-trapped waves on an equatorial beta-plane in a uniform zonal flow in the presence of Rayleigh friction and Newtonian cooling in the Earth's stratosphere, is applied to Jupiter's upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. …”

Investigating atmospheric predictability on Mars using breeding vectors in a general-circulation model by Newman, C, Read, P, Lewis, SR

“…Results indicate that the period from northern mid-spring until mid-autumn is remarkably predictable, with negative global growth rates for a range of conditions, in contrast to the situation on the earth. From northern late autumn to early spring growing modes do occur, peaking in northern high latitudes and near winter solstice. …”

A bulk cloud parameterization in a Venus General Circulation Model by Lee, C, Lewis, SR, Read, P

“…Two GCM experiments initialized with 10 ppm-equivalent of sulfuric acid are integrated for 30 Earth years and the results are discussed with reference to "Y" shaped cloud structures observed on Venus. …”

Hadley circulations and Kelvin wave-driven equatorial jets in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn by Yamazaki, Y, Read, P, Skeet, DR

“…We propose a dynamical mechanism that can plausibly explain the origin of the broad prograde equatorial winds observed on Jupiter and Saturn, and examine the feasibility of this mechanism using two- (2D) and three-dimensional (313) numerical simulation models. …”

Intense polar temperature inversion in the middle atmosphere on Mars by McCleese, D, Schofield, J, Taylor, F, Abdou, W, Aharonson, O, Banfield, D, Calcutt, S, Heavens, N, Irwin, P, Kass, D, Kleinboehl, A, Lawson, W, Leovy, C, Lewis, SR, Paige, D, Read, P, Richardson, M, Teanby, N, Zurek, R

“…General circulation models for Mars are similar to those developed for weather and climate forecasting on Earth and require more martian observations to allow testing and model improvements. …”
