The atmospheres of the four giant planets of our Solar System share a common and well- observed characteristic: they each display patterns of planetary banding, with regions of …
INTRODUCTION The interior structure of Saturn, the depth of its winds, and the mass and age of its rings have been open questions in planetary science. The mass distribution inside …
In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …
How deep do Saturn's zonal winds penetrate below the cloud level has been a decades‐ long question, with important implications not only for the atmospheric dynamics but also for …

We study the relationship of zonal gravity coefficients, J 2n, zonal winds, and axial moment of inertia (MoI) by constructing models for the interiors of giant planets. We employ the …
Saturn's quasi-periodic planet-encircling storms are the largest convecting cumulus outbursts in the Solar System. The last eruption was in 1990 (Sánchez-Lavega, A.[1994] …
This review presents an insight into our current knowledge of the atmospheres of the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the satellite Titan, and those of …
