Abstract: The hypothesis that the zonal motions in the Jovian atmosphere are thermal winds and that the latitudinal cloud bands are caused by baroclinic instabilities under nongeostrophic conditions is investigated. The stability ...

Abstract: Bergeron first suggested that atmospheric frontogenesis is caused by horizontal wind deformation fields acting on pre-existing horizontal temperature gradients. A three-dimensional time-dependent mathematical model of the ...

Abstract: The problem of the steady symmetric motion of a Boussinesq fluid is considered for a system with small aspect ratio. It is assumed that the motion is driven by applying a periodic heat flux to the horizontal boundaries. ...

Abstract: The meridional and vertical eddy fluxes of sensible heat produced by small-amplitude growing baroclinic waves are calculated using solutions to the two-level model with horizontal shear in the mean flow. The results show ...

Abstract: A simple model for the structure of a non-rotating Hadley regime in an atmosphere with large thermal inertia is developed. The radiative fluxes are estimated by using a linearization about the radiative equilibrium state ...

Abstract: It is suggested that the apparent lag of Jupiter's mean rotation rate in extratropical latitudes (System II) behind the rotation rate of Jupiter's radio emissions (System III) is caused by the difference between phase ...

Abstract: The wide range of radiative time scales in the Venus atmosphere, together with observations of temperature structure and winds, indicate that the atmosphere contains two distinct regimes. In the deep atmosphere, at altitudes ...

Abstract: The results of Parts I and II are used to calculate the transports of heat and momentum that accompany growing baroclinic instabilities in Eady's model. The transports are calculated for both the conventional (?geostrophic?) ...
