Barotropic and Baroclinic Instabilities in Jupiter's Zonal Flow
<p>The barotropic and baroclinic stability of Jupiter's zonal jets is investigated using a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. Each layer is of constant density with the upper layer representing the cloudy levels of Jupiter's atmosphere above p ~ 5 bars containing the zonal jets u̅(y)...
