Vertical structure of tropospheric winds on gas giants
Abstract Zonal mean zonal velocity profiles from cloud‐tracking observations on Jupiter and Saturn are used to infer latitudinal variations of potential temperature consistent with a shear stable potential vorticity distribution. Immediately below the cloud tops, density stratification is weaker on...
