Until recently, observations of the giant planets of our Solar System were confined to
sampling relatively shallow regions of their atmospheres, leaving many uncertainties as to …

We examine the properties of the atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets at orbital
distances smaller than 0.1 AU from their stars. We show that these “51 Peg b-like” planets …

Abstract A new Mars Global Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Model (M‐GITM) is presented that
combines the terrestrial GITM framework with Mars fundamental physical parameters, ion …

The outer planets of our Solar System display a myriad of interesting cloud features, of
different colors and sizes. The differences between the types of observed clouds suggest a …

A new planetary atmospheric numerical model,“planetWRF,” has been developed by
modifying the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The model has generalized …

Chemical equilibrium considerations suggest that, assuming solar elemental abundances,
carbon on HD 209458b is sequestered primarily as carbon monoxide (CO) and methane …

In recent decades, great progress has been made in our understanding of zonal jets across
many subjects-atmospheric science, oceanography, planetary science, geophysical fluid …

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous
planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are …

Convective storms occur regularly in Saturn's atmosphere,,,. Huge storms known as Great
White Spots, which are ten times larger than the regular storms, are rarer and occur about …

More than two dozen short-period Jupiter-mass gas giant planets have been discovered
around nearby solar-type stars in recent years, several of which undergo transits, making …
